A new mod for PC allows making the Scoutflies in Monster Hunter: World invisible. However, some fans are not satisfied. They want the option to completely disable this feature.
Scoutflies brought mixed reactions: The Scoutflies are a feature that appeared for the first time in the Monster Hunter universe in Monster Hunter: World. Accordingly, the reactions to it in the community were mixed. While many players found the feature really practical, old Monster Hunter veterans were particularly not enthusiastic about it.
Now a mod allows making the Scoutflies at least invisible in the PC version of MHW.
The Scoutflies annoy some players
What are the problems with the Scoutflies? Despite their useful function as support during the search for specific monsters, the Scoutflies can be quite annoying for some players.
There are various reasons for this:
The search for monsters becomes too easy, as they just have to follow the flies and no longer really go searching
The flies are far too bright or take up a large part of the screen
The AI of the flies sometimes does nonsensical things, like tracking trails even though the monster is right in front of the player
The flies draw attention to unimportant things like herbs or mushrooms
Accordingly, the new mod comes in very handy for some hunters.
Things to consider if you want to use the mod: If you are considering getting this mod, you should take some precautions beforehand. Monster Hunter World has no official mod support on Steam and the fly mod is still in a test phase. Accordingly, you should back up your saves before installation and play in offline mode.
Scoutflies are displayed as glowing green dots. They show hunters the way to important items and monsters.
The mod does not fix the biggest player issue
The Scoutflies control the camera: The biggest complaint from players about the Scoutfly feature is not fixed by the mod. The flies can still take control of the camera at any time. This leads to sudden shifts in perspective in a different direction in the game, which players refer to as “neck jerking” or “neck snapping” – a sudden, jarring movement of the field of view.
invisibility is not enough: The mod causes the animations of the flies to merely become invisible. You can see this in the video as the camera still automatically rotates in the direction they fly as soon as a new trail is picked up.

Already, console players wished for a Monster Hunter World without Scoutflies. On Reddit, threads have regularly appeared for months asking for the option to completely turn the Scoutflies on and off. The mod can at least fulfill this wish for PC players if it is further developed.
An annoying bug on Steam spams Monster Hunter World players with notifications about:
At the largest video game fair in Germany, Gamescom, Blizzard also has a presence. And for Overwatch, Blizzard has made an announcement… announced. What can we expect?
When will the announcement come? Blizzard opens its presence at Gamescom 2018 on Wednesday, August 22 at 10:30 AM on the main stage. An hour later, the company says a big announcement for Overwatch will take place.
What will be announced in Overwatch?
There is currently no detailed information on what Blizzard wants to announce. However, speculation can be made. Last year, Mei’s backstory and the new map Junkertown were introduced.
A new map is likely: The announcement of a new map is most likely. Since Rialto, there has been no new map in Overwatch accessible for the regular game modes. Only Petra has been added as a Deathmatch map.
Rialto was released in May and is a payload map. Before that, Blizzard World, Junkertown, and the lunar colony Horizon were released. A control point map is now due, of which there are also the fewest together with attack maps.
Is a new story coming? Since a backstory for Mei was announced last year and Blizzard wants to engage more deeply with the lore, a new story seems likely.
Recently, lead writer Michael Chu announced that gameplay changes will also be integrated into new stories. With the massive rework on Symmetra, there would be enough reason for a new story.
Also, Wrecking Ball’s appearance would be a basis for new stories. The controlling hamster Hammond has a past together with Winston that can be told in many comics. New lore is therefore also very likely.
A new comic? Also possible.
Very unlikely to be a new hero: It is unlikely that a new hero will appear. With Wrecking Ball, a new hero was released just a few weeks ago.
For another announcement or teaser about a new hero, Blizzard will probably rather save it for the upcoming Blizzcon. For their own convention in November, Blizzard usually reserves its biggest novelties.
What else could be coming
Blizzard is known to like to play with possibilities in their games and everything that happens around them. It is also possible that something completely different will be presented:
More esports: With the Overwatch League, the largest esports event of Overwatch has just ended. It attracted several hundred thousand viewers. That Blizzard may announce something new in the direction of esports is also possible.
Maybe WoW after all? Blizzard loves references to other of their games. With Blizzard World, there was even a map that unites all Blizzard universes, Heroes of the Storm even makes heroes from all universes playable. After the new WoW expansion Battle for Azeroth, a crossover is therefore not excluded.
What do you think? What could Blizzard’s big announcement be? Let us know in the comments!
In WoW Battle for Azeroth, there are many flight points that cannot be “simply” unlocked. We will show you how to get the new WoW flight routes in Zandalar and Kul Tiras.
With the current expansion Battle for Azeroth, the events of World of Warcraft are divided across two continents for the first time. However, players of the Horde and Alliance can venture onto the continent of the other faction to establish bases there.
But not all flight paths are simply unlocked by the usual “riding and clicking”. We will reveal how to obtain even more flight points.
War Campaign as an Introduction. To get started, you must advance your war campaign. This can already be done during the leveling phase, but you should tackle the unlocking of flight points by the time you reach level 120.
In doing so, you will unlock the basic bases that grant you access to the enemy’s continent.
Reputation is Required. To unlock additional flight points, you must gain reputation with your respective war faction. For Horde, these are “The Eidgebunden”, and for Alliance players, it is the “7th Legion”. Once you have a friendly reputation with the faction, you can purchase scout reports for war resources. These will then unlock a mission at your ship’s mission table.
Completing this mission will grant the character a quest that sends you into enemy territory. Only with the quest in hand can you then establish the new outposts.
At Respectful, you can purchase more scout reports and repeat the process.
Manually Unlock Neutral Flight Points. The neutral flight points (the golden symbols) must be visited on foot or by mount, as usual, to unlock them. These are usually outposts of the Tortollans or other neutral forces, such as Hemet Nessingwary.
Upgrades for Outposts. Some of the outposts can later be upgraded with additional upgrades, such as a special mount that you can start with. Just pay attention to your mission table to see if a quest pops up occasionally that promises an upgrade.
Account-wide Unlocking: Unlocking the new outposts is account-wide! Once you have completed and unlocked the missions on your main character, your alt characters can also accept them immediately. Therefore, a repeat purchase of scout reports is not necessary.
What are the transfer budgets of the Bundesliga clubs in the career of FIFA 19? Here you will find the richest clubs in the Bundesliga and generally in career mode.
In career mode, it’s all about the money: If you want to have a successful career in FIFA 19, you need one thing above all: money! Here, you must pay particular attention to the transfer budgets of individual clubs.
You need the transfer budget to improve your club. The more budget you have, the better players you can buy on the transfer market.
Many FIFA players therefore choose a club with a high budget at the start of their career so they can make moves freely in the market and have a large scope of action. However, there is also a certain appeal in choosing a club with low funds and then leading it to financial prosperity and success.
No matter what type of career you are – here you get an overview of the transfer budgets of the Bundesliga clubs in the career mode of FIFA 19.
FIFA 19 Career Mode – How much budget is available to the Bundesliga clubs
The following numbers come from the beta of FIFA 19. The budgets may be adjusted before release, but they are considered quite fixed.
These are the transfer budgets of the Bundesliga clubs (in pounds £):
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
You can sort the table in ascending or descending order by budget by clicking on “BUDGET” at the top.
FC Bayern Munich has by far the most financial resources available (almost 113 million pounds, which is about 126 million euros). They are followed by Dortmund (almost 64 million £), Leipzig (55 million £) and Leverkusen (40 million £). If you want to sign some top players at the start of your career, FC Bayern is therefore the first choice in Germany.
Nuremberg, Düsseldorf, and Augsburg, on the other hand, have less than 10 million transfer budget.
By the way: In FIFA 18, Bayern had almost 83 million and Dortmund around 48 million pounds transfer budget. In FIFA 19, they are significantly increasing.
How does FC Bayern perform in the international comparison? For comparison – these are the transfer budgets of the richest clubs in the major leagues in FIFA 19:
The Manchester clubs, both with almost 200 million budget, are out of reach for Bayern. Paris is also significantly “richer”. However, they leave large clubs like Chelsea or Real Madrid behind. You can find all leagues and clubs in FIFA 19 here.
We present to you the 5 best MMORPGs with an active combat system. All of them are available for PC, 4 even for Steam, and some more for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Fights are essential in MMORPGs. Encounters with monsters or other players in PvP are a main element of the genre and represent an important part of the fun for many players.
Besides the classic tab-targeting combat with hotbar like World of Warcraft offers, some MMOs utilize an active combat system that promises more action and excitement. We have compiled the five best MMORPGs with active combat systems for you.
[toc]
What criteria make these the 5 best games? For the list, we sorted the games by their ratings on Steam: For titles that are not available on Steam, we referred to Metacritic.
Guild Wars 2
What is Guild Wars 2? The sequel to ArenaNet’s MMORPG was released six years ago and aims to impress with a dynamic world that evolves through a continuously developing story. The “living story” is at the heart of the online role-playing game, where you advance the story together in a group through quests. Guild Wars 2 is a rather classic representative of MMORPGs, but it takes a unique approach to its combat system.
How does combat work in Guild Wars 2? ArenaNet’s MMORPG features a combat system that represents a mix of active and passive gameplay. You still need to select a target via targeting and use a hotbar to cast your attacks and spells. However, it’s necessary to actively dodge and move around. This makes the fights in Guild Wars 2 feel faster than those in World of Warcraft, but not quite as quick as in Tera.
A 12-year-old had the chance to make a good impression on the popular Twitch streamer Pokimane, who he has a bit of a crush on, in Fortnite. It ended… not so well.
Who is Pokimane? The name belongs to 22-year-old streamer Imane Anys, originally from Morocco, who now lives in the USA.
Pokimane was initially known as a LoL player, but since she switched to Fortnite, it has boosted her presence on Twitch. With the rise of Fortnite in January 2018, Pokimane’s numbers also increased. She now has almost 2 million followers on Twitch.
Pokimane’s follower development on Twitch runs parallel to the rise of Fortnite
What was the idea? Fortnite streamers like Pokimane sometimes play “Random Duo.” In this mode, they are paired with a random teammate. They then play in a regular Fortnite match and the interaction entertains the stream.
Who was her partner? In this case, a 12-year-old was assigned to her through Fortnite’s matchmaking. However, he did not realize that he was playing with Pokimane, the famous streamer, and that thousands of people were watching.
He only thought there was someone who liked Pokimane so much that they named themselves after her. Therefore, the 12-year-old confessed to the streamer that he thinks Pokimane is really great.

First sweet, then Romeo: What seemed nice in the first seconds “I like Pokimane,” quickly became somewhat odd, “because she is hot!”
Upon the revelation that the unknown gaming partner is actually Pokimane, he responds dryly: “Can I have your number?”
But he gets rejected: “I think that would be illegal.”
Up to that point, one could still find it somewhat sweet and Pokimane probably still found it quite amusing. “I like it best when you play with Myth,” elicited an “Aww” from her.
12-Year-Old Gets Very Quickly Very … Rude
12-year-olds today are not so sweet: As the conversation progresses, the 12-year-old probably does not understand that they are live on air. Moreover, he seems to forget that he is talking to a real person.
He falls into an internet slang with phrases like “My ball hair sweats” or says worse things.

He then used phrases that are not appropriate for youth and that a twelve-year-old should not know.
Pokimane reacted with a mix of amusement, “You are 12, you probably don’t even have hair down there,” and audible dismay, “That’s not how you talk to a woman,” while the Twitch stream alternated between amusement and calling it an EPIC Fail, urging the streamer to leave the match.

Players can now also automatically level their character in Black Desert . We explain how AFK leveling works and who should take advantage of the training of the Black Spirit in Black Desert here.
Players of Black Desert can now train at scarecrows in various locations around the game world while leaving their computer on and doing other things. We explain how the new system works and what you need to pay attention to.
AFK leveling is a luxury
Is only worth it at a high level. AFK leveling is theoretically possible from level 50. However, it is really worth it only at higher levels. Because for a few hours of training, you pay a hefty sum of silver.
The prices are as follows:
Training Manual Talent/Training for 1 hour: 1,000,000 Silver
Training Manual Talent/Training for 3 hours: 3,000,000 Silver
Training Manual Talent/Training for 5 hours: 5,000,000 Silver
Training Manual Talent/Training for 10 hours: 10,000,000 Silver
You can gather both combat XP and skill XP. Depending on whether you use a training book for talent or training. You can theoretically also use both at the same time. In this case, you will receive both training XP and combat XP after a certain time.
Combat XP increases your level incrementally.
Skill XP grants you additional skill points.
You have to buy training manuals
Where can I find the books? Head to the cities of Velia, Heidel, Calpheon, Altinova, or Valencia. There you will find an NPC named (Trainer of the Black Spirit) Jamey Drucker. This NPC is located right next to the scarecrows in Valencia.
The NPC Jamey Drucker gladly accepts your hard-earned silver.
How do I start training? Once you have acquired one or both books, activate the buff of the books by using them in your inventory. As long as the buff is active, you can interact with the scarecrows in any city by pressing “R”. Only one player can train at a scarecrow at the same time.
In order to interact with the scarecrow, you must have a main and a secondary weapon equipped.
This is how automatic training works
How often do I receive XP? Combat/Skill XP is received every 3 minutes during training. If you pause the training after 2 minutes and resume later, those 2 minutes are not lost. You will receive the next XP after one minute of training instead of 3. If you quit the game, your partial progress will be reset.
Black Desert must continue running on your computer during training.
If maintenance is taking place, your training will not continue. However, your buff will still expire. So plan your training sessions around maintenance.
The training does not increase your level. Through the training of the Black Spirit you can gather a maximum of 99% of the XP your character needs to level up. You will have to grind the remaining XP yourself.
Do XP bonuses have an effect? All XP buffs in the game also affect the combat XP received from the training of the Black Spirit. This includes “Hot Days!”, event buffs, the combat book, the Golden Bell, elixirs, Olvia server buffs, and companion talents.
With talent XP it looks different. If buffs grant you additional talent XP, they do not work with the training of the Black Spirit.
Can I consume items during training? Players can use elixirs or food during training. It is also possible to use the training manuals to extend the duration of training.
Who benefits from training the Black Spirit?
Active grinding is more efficient. Training is not worth it for all players. Ultimately, you must decide for yourself whether you want to take advantage of it.
It is worth it for players who
want to improve their character with additional skill points and have the necessary silver to train for several hours.
leave their computer running all night anyway and want to assign crafting tasks to their character, but now want to collect some skill and combat XP.
It is less worth it for players who
have just reached level 50. Manual grinding is more efficient than automatic.
are worried about a higher electricity bill and do not want to keep their computer running all the time.
In Destiny 2, there will be a massive clash before Forsaken. Year 1 ends with a new, explosive PvP mode.
Year 1 is coming to an end: On September 4, 2018, the Forsaken expansion marks the start of Year 2 of Destiny 2. However, essentially, Year 1 will end a week earlier.
Thus, starting next week, Year 1 is set to be celebrated vigorously – by letting loose in a fresh PvP mode. This mode is called “Scorched”.
All Info on the PvP Mode “Scorched”
Scorched, or in German “Versengen”, will be a new PvP mode in the Crucible Labs.
How is the mode played? Scorched has a straightforward set of rules:
You spawn with a Scorch weapon (Scorch Cannon)
Each opponent also spawns with a Scorch weapon
You blast each other with the Scorch weapons
That’s it.
What is a Scorch weapon? A Scorch Cannon is a weapon used by the Fallen, carried by specific Captains. Guardians can also pick up this weapon, which somewhat resembles a bazooka. In Destiny 2, this weapon can be found during the public event with the Fallen Walker, and it gained greater notoriety in the Prison of Elders from Destiny 1:
When does this PvP mode take place?
On Tuesday, August 21, Scorched will start at 7 PM as “Free-for-All”.
From Friday, August 24, the mode will switch to a 6v6 at 7 PM.
It is expected to end on August 28 with the Weekly Reset or the Update 2.0.0.
Bungie admits that this mode will be crazy and wild, yet it has been incredibly fun during internal testing. They hope you will also enjoy it and let Year 1 end with a bang.
Scorched will be the last mode in the Crucible Labs before Year 2.
What are the Crucible Labs? In the “Crucible Labs”, upcoming PvP modes or changes to existing modes are tested. They provide developers a chance to try out specific things in a live environment before they are deemed “finished”. The labs are not permanently active but are occasionally unlocked.
However, whether Scorched will come to the Crucible Labs next week with the consideration of eventually introducing the mode permanently is questionable. You will get to enjoy yourselves shortly before Year 2. Especially the 6v6 is likely to become quite chaotic.
Cortyn has been hanging around in the war mode of World of Warcraft. And there is one thing that enemies should beware of: The Artifact Fishing Rod.
With Battle for Azeroth, players in World of Warcraft have the opportunity to switch to war mode and essentially play in a pure PvP environment. This is rewarded with additional XP, but it also brings the permanent danger of hostile players. And that is a lot of fun!
I admit: PvP is not exactly my forte. I occasionally win duels, and even in fair encounters, my priest sometimes emerges victorious, but I will never reach a high rating.
Still, I enjoy war mode a lot. It’s not just the additional experience points that are an incentive, but also the fun encounters.
I was just afk at a flight master when I was writing the article about the dramatic Jaina finale, when suddenly the familiar “Brrz!” of a Moonfire echoed from my headphones. A druid wanted to farm some easy honor points and tried to take me down while I was afk.
Since my gear is already quite solid, I was able to turn the tide quickly and chased the owl away. He dove into the sea and shapeshifted to escape as a sea lion.
The Artifact Fishing Rod is the PvP Turbo in the Water
Then I had a (rather rare) brainwave. After all, I still have my Artifact Fishing Rod in my bag, and equipping it allows my character to turn into a fish that speeds through the water. This way, the druid could not escape me, earning me a proud 10 honor points.
And what is the best feeling when a plan succeeds? Right, when the player logs out afterward and accuses you of cheating because you were “faster than a druid in the water.”
Even though it’s a bit mean, this satisfaction, this little feeling of superiority, was really nice.
At least until I ran into a group of Horde players who then turned my Draenei into firewood.
It doesn’t matter. I enjoy war mode and can only recommend it to anyone who also likes the extra thrill. PvP in the open world has never been more interesting – Battle for Azeroth really nailed it.
The Artifact weapon proves to be a loyal companion in chasing down all the players trying to flee across the open sea. Luckily, it’s also just as good for making a getaway…
With Battle for Azeroth, a lot will change in WoW. Above all, the positions of Horde and Alliance are likely to shift.
With World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, the factions of Horde and Alliance are more in focus of the game’s events. By the end of the expansion, both sides will be more clearly defined, and their positions will be clearly recognizable. While the Horde oscillates between two extremes, the Alliance must awaken from its passivity.
The narrative producer Steve Danuser and Ely Cannon, lead artist of World of Warcraft, spoke about the topic of factions and their development with the magazine Polygon.
The Horde is torn between honor and brutality: The Horde has been split even before. On one side, there are the more “evil” members, like the Forsaken. They are seeking conquest and trying to expand their people – at any cost. They do not shy away from plague or mass extermination. Any means are justified for the end.
On the other hand, there are the characters driven more by honor, such as Orcs or Tauren. They dislike dishonorable behavior and brutality, like what Sylvanas is planning.
However, there is also a lot of space in between. Blood Elves and Goblins often look out for their own advantage – but sometimes still have a sense of honor.
Both sides have always existed in the Horde. The developers “want to show where both positions have their place in the Horde” – because it is more than a homogeneous mix. The individual races have drastically different views.
Alliance must choose a path: The Alliance has always taken the role of the reacting side in the past of World of Warcraft. The Horde acts, and the Alliance reacts.
Now, after the burning of Teldrassil, the Alliance must consider what it wants to do. Will it slip back into passivity once more? Would the homeless Night Elves allow that? Or is the Alliance trying to solidify its position as the controlling party in Azeroth? Perhaps the Alliance, which has always been calm and collected, is seeking revenge for the first time.
Is a world without factions conceivable? When asked whether World of Warcraft would work without factions, the response is rather skeptical. Many players identify with their side, having fought for Horde or Alliance for over a decade. This identification cannot simply be taken away – and from a story perspective, that wouldn’t happen so quickly either.
Cortyn says: It seems certain, however, that both factions will be fundamentally different by the end of Battle for Azeroth than they were at the beginning of this expansion. This is a great opportunity for Blizzard to give both factions a new, clear identity. In doing so, the identification of players with their faction will also be strengthened.
Where would you like to see your faction at the end of Battle for Azeroth?

Ultimate abilities can decide games in Overwatch, and some heroes take much longer to charge their Ultimate. A fan has given this some more thought.
Ultimates in numbers: A dedicated Overwatch fan took the time to document the possible charge for the Ultimates of all heroes in Overwatch. He collected data for all abilities and the resulting damage and healing.
Know exactly how long you still need
The reddit user cleverfool324 (via reddit) collected information about the damage and healing of all abilities from every hero in Overwatch. This resulted in a table that details how much percent charge each ability grants in a certain time or with a certain number of shots.
Improve your game: The data collected by cleverfool can mean a significant advantage for you in the game. You can check which abilities allow you to charge your Ultimate more effectively for your favorite heroes.
If you have the numbers at least roughly in mind, you can better estimate whether you can use the Ultimate at the beginning of the next fight with 80% charge or if you should wait a few more seconds before engaging.
Teamwork with PDF: The table was created by cleverfool324 in the form of a freely accessible PDF in English and linked on reddit. The breakdown is sorted by classes and alphabetically, and contains some comments.
The reddit community assists in the relevant post in spotting errors or gathering new data. cleverfool324 has tested and confirmed all the collected data himself in custom games or in training mode.
The full potential of the heroes
With the help of the table, you can also see which heroes are particularly effective at quickly charging their Ultimates. This can help you quickly charge a crucial Ultimate in the last seconds of a match when the hero is switched.
Bastion could charge twice: The numbers that came out are sometimes surprising. Tracer could charge her Ultimate Pulse Bomb by over 85% if every shot from her magazine hits an unarmored target up close to the head.
Bastion could achieve over 218% charge in his configuration: Sentry if every shot hits unarmored targets without damage reduction.
cleverfool324 points out that such numbers are purely theoretical and nearly impossible to reach in practice due to various factors disrupting them. A call for a nerf based solely on his table would be misplaced.
Possible errors and factors: As an example of such factors, cleverfool324 mentions the spread of weapons that would make it impossible for Bastion players to hit enough targets with each shot.
For Tracer, it would be difficult to hit every shot of her pistols on critical hit zones, even though she can empty her magazine significantly faster. The size of the magazines and the speed at which they are emptied are crucial for this.
However, some errors seem to have been uncovered during the tests. For Widowmaker, calculating her damage with the auto-fire from Widow’s Kiss is difficult, as the spread is limiting, not the damage reduction.
For Brigitte, cleverfool324 found a different value for the required charge than indicated in the Overwatch Wiki (varying by about 15% up and down).
In Fortnite, “Save the World” is becoming a troubled child. With Patch 5.2 came deep-rooted issues: crashes, bugs, and apparently a dupe exploit. Many are reminded of the old Diablo days. Epic has temporarily disabled the game’s chat.
These two major public bugs were known: Patch 5.2 came to Fortnite on August 7th. Since then, the “Save the World” mode, i.e. the PvE, has massive problems.
There’s not only a worm in there, but they have caught the plague:
First, Fortnite crashed significantly more often than before
Then, there were no rewards in missions with 4 players anymore
What does Epic say? This dupe exploit has been publicly confirmed by Epic. In the Reddit forum, a producer said last week:
„We know this week has been tough for us and for the Save the World community. […] You pointed out some ugly things to us.”
The producer further states that unfortunately, they had to ban some people. Epic warns against using this exploit.
What is being duplicated? Apparently, players have been duplicating rare materials on a large scale. In Fortnite, players need resources to craft weapons if they have the schematics for them.
Especially strong weapons require particularly rare and high-level resources.
For some players, farming resources and searching for weapons with perfect perks is the main occupation. They fear that such a dupe could sustainably harm Fortnite.
Bug under control? Even though Epic seems to have this bug under control, it is a concerning development that such errors can occur in a large game like Fortnite.
Moreover, there are increasing signs that further such “dupe exploits” could be in circulation. This threatens the stability and future of the game.
Because it is not guaranteed that the next dupe exploit will be made public and can be eliminated.
Problems like in the early days of Diablo
The problem with Fortnite “Save the World”: Anyway, “Save the World” has had significant issues with item management since the release, reminding one of the early days of online players: In the chat, one constantly reads about “scammers” who cheat others out of their weapons and items.
Scamming in Fortnite has become so widespread that people who want to trade often feel compelled to declare: “I am not a scammer!”
How to trade in Fortnite? In Fortnite, it is conditionally possible to trade items and resources with each other. But this does not operate through an orderly system like in World of Warcraft, but by “Put that on the ground, I will pick it up and give you mine” like in the worst days of Diablo.
In Diablo 2, a scam was almost legendary: the so-called “Stone of Jordan” scam. Even in Diablo, one had to trust a stranger and there were always people being scammed. Diablo 2 was also known for “dupe exploits.” This led to nothing holding value in certain modes.
This “scamming” has been causing trouble in Fortnite for months. At any time, one can follow the dramas in Fortnite’s chat when someone has been scammed again and is shouting their frustration about the injustice.
Epic reacts with a muzzle for all
First, chat disabled: Currently, Epic has disabled the normal chat and the founder chat in Fortnite: “Save the World” (via reddit). They are now working on this chat function, possibly to implement a new system there.
Epic says the old chat system did not achieve what they wanted. Whether Epic meant: “There was too much scamming via chat” is not entirely clear. However, it seems likely.
Note: For understandable reasons, we do not want to elaborate on how exactly items are duplicated or how others are scammed in Fortnite.
Reddit is not only the birthplace of memes and funny videos but also some quite serious tactics. The Fortnite subreddit has been celebrating a sniping technique for a few days now that is extremely successful – and has already found dozens of imitators. What is this technique for snipers? And is it really that successful?
With sniper rifles, opposing players can be quickly eliminated with a well-aimed shot. The problem: a good opponent jumps and weaves back and forth. This often makes it difficult to land a critical hit.
So when should you shoot at the opponent? Quite clearly, when they feel the safest!
What is the Reddit Snipe? Grab a sniper rifle and dig into a self-built fortress. It shouldn’t take long for the prey to appear and take the bait, usually in the form of their own fortress.
Build a staircase towards the opponent’s fortress and add another staircase on top. Now there’s a staircase between you and the opponent. As soon as the enemy starts destroying the stairs right in front of you, you can see through the already destroyed parts of the fortress.
Typically, opponents tend to linger while trying to destroy your dwelling. Once the staircase in front of you is destroyed, the trap is set: the immobile opponent has been in your scope for seconds and is helplessly at your mercy. You can see how this works in the following video:

Since the first post, this technique has been known as “Reddit Snipe.” Not because it is particularly creative, but because it has found countless imitators in a very short time.
Does the Reddit Snipe always work? No. It is even to be expected that the tactic will become more widespread and that knowledgeable players will take corresponding countermeasures.
The following video shows the tragic ways this sniping technique can go wrong:

In Battle for Azeroth, the endgame begins with the most content at level 120. After about 13 hours in the new WoW expansion, I have reached the new maximum level. Not much has really changed because of this, but it feels completely different compared to Legion.
After spending nearly 8 hours for the first 5 levels in the new area, the rest went pretty quickly – probably because the wait times were shorter and I wasn’t as tired. This is my impression of the first days at the new maximum level.
I am now level 120 – and nothing is different from leveling
I reached level 120 with my first character in Stormsong Valley during some quest. The achievement popped up – and that was it. No letter, no new quest sneaking into my quest log.
From previous expansions, I was used to being summoned immediately by the leaders of the factions to send the hero off on the next mission – or receiving a letter from someone like Rhonin with some nice gadgets.
But in Battle for Azeroth, I am no longer a hero – I am a nobody, unimportant. The initially bland aftertaste of the eventless level-up, which is simply “one more,” soon dissipated. It’s actually quite nice not everyone constantly wants something from me.
No message from Jaina – she has other concerns.
What do I do now?
Due to the lack of commands from Anduin or Magni, I was somewhat at a loss. What to do? I somehow miss the goals. It took a while until I activated the world quests and advanced the war campaign.
After a brief orientation, I found my way again – especially thanks to the war campaign. However, since that is tied to a reputation requirement quite quickly, alternatives need to be found.
This table starts the Alliance war campaign.
Exploring the content
What I looked forward to most while leveling were the dungeons. The design of the new instances is top-notch: a whole pirate city in Freehold, a charming witch’s house in the Dreadwake Estate, and a prison like Alcatraz in Tol Dagor.
The story and presentation of Battle for Azeroth still blow me away at level 120 – and at 120, I finally gain access to the Horde’s instances as an Alliance player.
My next goal was to reach item level 305 – for the heroic dungeons. With world quests, professions, and a few normal dungeons, that was achieved within two days.
Dungeons – Grind without boredom: Even though there are “only” 8 dungeons, the selection is relatively small, they are still, time and again, a lot of fun. Especially at higher difficulties like mythic, they are challenging, and the teamwork with the group is enjoyable.
On top of that, there’s the opportunity to improve with practically anything at the beginning. The gear is still so weak that almost anything upgrades it. It feels good to finally go through dungeons and make progress.
Island Expeditions – the downside: My experience with island expeditions was quite different. The island expeditions promised to be a good source of artifact power in their presentation. And my Heart of Azeroth urgently needs more power.
However, the expeditions provide quite little artifact power – a few hundred units per run and a one-time 2500 per week. Just for level 14 of the chain, I currently need 8000 power, and my gear needs level 26 to be fully upgraded. A bit exhausting.
PvP, better than just running in circles: Since some of the content is hidden behind “timegates” mostly manifested as reputation with the war factions, I have a lot of time to explore the remaining content.
What I personally like most about Battle for Azeroth is the new PvP. The War Mode is one of the best innovations I have seen in my 11 years of WoW. Instead of running in circles in the capital (which was apparently very popular in Legion), I find myself more often in the open world.
In the PvP headquarters, there are even quests that promote open PvP in certain areas. The quest strangely overlaps with the factions, allowing PvP enthusiasts to meet and brawl there.
In doing so, I gain both a feel for PvP (which I will definitely continue during the ranked season) as well as honor and occasionally a bit of gold or resources. The Duelist’s Guild even invites you to do a quick 1-2 duels in the capital before logging off.
What is the endgame like in Battle for Azeroth?
The start of the endgame in Battle for Azeroth felt less spectacular than in Legion. There simply isn’t much happening all at once. However, the feeling that this content will last for a long time is much more present. It remains exciting and interesting.
I find something new to do or want to do every day. When I no longer feel like stocking up on reputation and advancing the campaign, I go through dungeons with a group – or go brawling.
Only the grind seems even worse from my perspective than I feared. Collecting Azerite is currently a very long endeavor, and it is simply frustrating to put on gear that has 3 or 4 traits greyed out and are not achievable in the near future.
Azerite locks four equipment slots behind a lock: neck, head, shoulders, and chest. To be well-equipped in the 4 slots, I need to constantly upgrade exactly one item. This is harder than in Legion – especially since currently there is a lack of a way to efficiently farm Azerite for those who want to invest a lot of time for substantial progress.
Overall, I am optimistic about the future, especially since the requirements for Azerite are to be lowered, and with better gear, the paths to farm Azerite will be easier. Moreover, there is still a campaign waiting to be completed.
Many new shiny models for Gen 1 and 2 are now in the code of Pokémon GO. The data mining shows how the shinies look.
Livestream shows shinies: On Friday night, the data miner Chrales announced a special stream. The data miner has correctly predicted many events and new Pokémon in the past, which he found in the code of Pokémon GO.
In his latest leak, everything revolves around new shiny models.
New Shinies in Pokémon GO – But not yet in the wild
Almost all shinies from Gen 1 and 2: In the stream, Chrales showed several shinies from the first and second generation of Pokémon. However, these are not all.
New shinies not yet in the wild: While many monsters now have their shiny model in Pokémon GO, not all of them can be found in the wild. The new models could be seen as a kind of preparation for a release sometime in the future.
It is assumed that the new shiny models are found in the code due to the Unity update of the new patch.
Keep your hype in check: This stream from the data miner was not an announcement for a huge shiny event.
It is unclear whether Niantic is planning such an event at all or if the shinies have just been integrated into the game as a precaution. There are currently no clear signs that an event is supposed to start in this context.
Which shinies were there? Chrales showcased a huge selection of shinies. Among them Lapras, Kecleon, Chansey, and other interesting specimens. If you want, you can watch the 2-hour livestream on Chrales’ Twitch.TV page.
Huge Shiny Gallery
If you don’t feel like watching the stream, you can view most of the showcased shinies in our gallery. You can click on the individual images to enlarge them.

However, the PvE game was overshadowed in September 2017 by the release of Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode. The PvP mode is free to play, but there is a paid Battle Pass that allows players to unlock 100 different levels through challenges. These grant players cosmetic items for their own characters.
How is it played? Like other battle royale games, Fortnite pits up to 100 players against each other, either alone, in pairs, or as a team of up to four players. The last survivor or the last team standing wins. In addition, there are weekly challenges to complete, as well as special events that occur regularly, such as the 50-vs-50 mode or modes where only certain weapons appear.
What makes Fortnite special is the gathering of resources, which are also used in the battle royale mode for building bases or stairs.
Fortnite is ideal for: Players who enjoy shooters that don’t take themselves too seriously. Also, gamers who prefer a colorful comic style over a realistic game environment and those who appreciate simple yet challenging gameplay.
Moreover, the battle royale genre is currently one of the game highlights for both young and old. Fortnite is particularly booming due to famous streamers, such as Ninja, who has played alongside stars like Drake.

What do you think of our list of the best multiplayer games for the Xbox One? Have we perhaps forgotten an important game for you? Let us know in the comments!
Starting out in WoW can be challenging. The story is confusing, and for new players, there is simply too much and at the same time too little information in the narrative.
Who is speaking? In an interview with gamesindustry, Patrick Dawson, one of the Technical Directors of World of Warcraft, discussed the new expansion Battle for Azeroth and how the constantly evolving game presents developers with new challenges. Especially new players find it increasingly difficult to connect with the story and keep an overview.
To grant players more freedom, Blizzard introduced world scaling with the end of Legion. It became possible to play in many areas, regardless of the character’s level. This way, everyone could largely determine what they wanted to experience.
Almost 15 years of content can overwhelm a newcomer
Overwhelming and confusing story: It is further stated that the developers are aware that there is an incredible amount of story in the game. For new players, this can feel “overwhelming and a bit confusing”.
This is not a good thing if you want to keep players engaged in a world, and the creators of WoW are aware of this. “We want to continue working on making the leveling experience fun and filled with story, while also being able to tell old tales.”
However, there is still no concrete solution for this. “We don’t have an answer to that today. But it’s something we would like to change.”
Too much and too little information. Yet it is not only the sheer volume of stories and information that is confusing, but also their presentation: World of Warcraft actually has a chronological order, namely the sequence of the release of all expansions. However, this was thrown out the window with Cataclysm.
Players start in a world that was destroyed by the Cataclysm, only to travel back in time and see the shattered world. This is not only confusing but simply makes no sense if one has not dealt much with WoW.
Are you a newcomer to World of Warcraft and struggling to understand the story? Then you might enjoy this article:
Cortyn says: I believe that World of Warcraft has now simply become too big to force the story and game world into a “red thread” corset. It simply makes no sense to start in the world of Cataclysm, then travel back to the shattered world of the past, only to end back in Cataclysm.
Here, a few new quests could perhaps help explain the chronological order of the individual areas more accurately – but of course that would draw resources away from current content.
Do you have any suggestions on how World of Warcraft could solve the storytelling problem with content that is almost 15 years old? Or should they just “leave it alone”?

Bungie has revealed the individual quest steps that will lead you to the pulse rifle Redrix’s Claymore in Season 4 of Destiny 2. We have the details on how to get the pulse rifle. The weapon could become the new wonder weapon in Destiny 2.
The old wonder weapon has become obsolete: Recently, Bungie confirmed that the coveted and rare pulse rifle Redrix’s Claymore will no longer be available after Season 3 ends. Currently, the weapon is still available as a reward for reaching the fourth of six ranks in the competitive Glory leaderboard of the Crucible.
A new version of the weapon is coming: To make the Crucible more attractive to a wider range of Guardians in the future, there will be such valuable rewards from special quests starting in Season 4. For example, there will be the Redrix’s Claymore – a forthcoming sister weapon of the Redrix’s Claymore – available as a reward in a corresponding quest.
Now, Bungie has revealed what specifically needs to be done to obtain the pulse rifle Redrix’s Claymore in Season 4.
Due to its rarity, one can speculate that Redrix’s Claymore will become one of the best weapons in Destiny 2.

Step 2:

Step 3:

In Fortnite, developer Epic has decided to disable the rifts. Therefore, the rifts are gone for now until a hotfix is found to resolve the issues with them. This could impact the Summer Skirmish of week 6.
What are rifts? The rifts have been present since the start of Season 5 in Fortnite. After the rocket somehow blew a hole in the world at the end of Season 4, the rifts are active in regular matches of Fortnite: Battle Royale.
Whoever dives into a rift will be catapulted back into the air and can jump again as if they just exited the Battle Bus. The rifts were also significant for a challenge.
What’s happening now? There is a bug with the rifts, which is why Epic has disabled them in all game modes. The rifts will remain gone until Epic develops a fix to reopen the rifts.

What was the bug? Officially, Epic is not saying anything. However, Fortnite fans are discussing the glitch on reddit.
Allegedly, players could drive a golf kart into a rift, then be teleported up into the air, so high that they wouldn’t get caught by the storm. The bug reportedly granted a sort of God mode.
Golf karts have been causing trouble in Fortnite and have been disabled multiple times. This time, it seems the rifts have been affected.
However, it cannot be fully confirmed if this is really the glitch that caused the rifts to be closed.
Rifts should disappear anyway: This is a strange coincidence, as there have recently been rumors and findings from data miners.
In the last week, data miners reported that the rifts will soon disappear from Fortnite for story reasons. Apparently, a bug preceded this.
Especially interesting: The rifts were disabled just a few hours before the start of week 6 of the Summer Skirmishes. This could therefore affect the eSports this weekend.
In The Division today, on August 18th, is the big vendor reset. We present to you items from the vendors that are particularly worthwhile.
It is time for the vendor reset again. Every week, on the night from Friday to Saturday, the offerings of the many vendors change randomly.
So that you don’t have to check all vendors, we have our summary of the best deals for you. These are our recommendations.
Recommended weapons since 18.8.
Special equipment vendor, Terminal: Pakhan with Destructive and Gifted. Good LMG for PvE, instead of Gifted we recommend Precise or Thieves.
Special equipment vendor, Terminal: Historian with Careful and Destructive. None of the best precision rifles, but has a relatively high gear score and usable PvE talents. Instead of Careful you should take Brutal or Prepared.
Special equipment vendor, Terminal: SVD, Paratrooper Version with Destructive, Balanced and Disciplined. Good sniper rifle, that becomes even more stable with Balanced. In the third slot you should replace Disciplined with Determined, Malicious or Cold-Headed, and you already have a good PvE sniper.
W 53rd St: Improved PP-19 with Thieves, Demanding and Accelerated. This SMG is a good PvE weapon and especially recommended with the D3 FNC set. Replace Demanding with Deadly.
W 31st St: SASG-12 S Black Market Version with Destructive, Receptive and Dominant. After the Showstopper the strongest shotgun in the game and comes with good PvE talents. Instead of Dominant you should take Malicious to get extra damage out.
