New World: Amazon’s MMORPG invites you to the Alpha – Here’s how to participate

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

With the first previews, Amazon’s upcoming MMORPG New World has been announced. You can now sign up for the alpha on the official website.

New World is expected to be an interesting sandbox MMO set in 17th century America, developed by Amazon Game Studios. You can now register for the upcoming alpha through the official website. This registration takes place somewhat unusually through the Amazon online store.

Update March 13, 2020: The first alpha has since ended, New World has been changed, and the focus has shifted more towards PvE. A new alpha test has also started. You can find details about the current version of New World here.

A New Western MMORPG

The next Western AAA MMORPG: New World could be something that fans of the genre have long desired: a new Western AAA MMORPG. Amazon has the financial resources to create something great visually and in terms of gameplay.

New-World-Bear

Sandbox with a focus on PvP: However, you should not expect a theme park MMO with many quests. According to early testers, New World is more comparable to Ultima Online or Star Wars Galaxies.

  • You explore a vast game world and are completely free to do what you want
  • Your hero develops based on skills, there are no predefined classes
  • PvP plays a central role. You fight against other players in the world and can even take their entire equipment away
  • Guilds are important. Together you build bases from which you plan your expeditions to collect resources and craft items
  • In the endgame, you try to conquer territories, allowing you to collect taxes from other players operating from bases in your areas
  • PvE is also a part of the MMORPG. You fight not only wild animals but also supernatural creatures

Sign up for the upcoming Alpha

Alpha registration started: On the official website of New World, you can register for the upcoming alpha of the game. This works a little differently than you might be used to from some online games:

  • You click on the New World website and click “Register”
  • Then you will be redirected to the product page of the game on Amazon
  • Log in to your Amazon account
  • Then you click on “Send me an email” on the product page of New World
  • You are now registered for the alpha. Once it starts and you are selected, you will receive a notification from Amazon

No dates have been set yet: Currently, it is not yet clear when the alpha of New World will start, nor when the release is expected. The MMORPG is currently only announced for PC.

Bless Unleashed – Neues MMORPG für Xbox One angekündigt

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The publisher Bandai Namco has announced a new free-to-play MMORPG for the Xbox One. They promise combo-based gameplay with great graphics for Bless Unleashed. The release date is expected to be in 2019.

On the sidelines of Gamescom, Bandai Namco announced that they are developing a free-to-play MMORPG. We summarize what is already known. However, there isn’t much yet.

Who is developing it? The studio “Round 8 Studio” from Neowiz Games is developing the new MMORPG “Bless Unleashed”. Neowiz recently developed a PC MMORPG with Bless, which was not a big success.

Bless-Unleashed-Maul

It is unclear how far Bless and “Bless Unleashed” are connected. It will not simply be a port of Bless – Bless was developed with the “Unreal Engine 3” – “Bless Unleashed” relies on the Unreal Engine 4.

When is the new MMORPG coming out? The game is planned for the first half of 2019. It will be a free-to-play MMORPG for the “Xbox One” family.

Bless-Unleasehd-Drache
BlessUnleashed_Logo_3D

Is Bless Unleashed also coming for the PS4? That is still unknown. It has not been announced or confirmed yet. There is a small loophole. It is said that the game is “being developed for consoles” and will be released “first on Xbox One”.

Combat and graphics are emphasized – Open World

“Bless Unleashed” targets hardcore MMO fans: The game is aimed at hardcore MMO players who are looking for an epic journey. Bless Unleashed is specifically developed for modern consoles. With the Unreal Engine 4, it aims to provide a “visually stunning experience”.

Bandai Namco especially emphasizes “combat” and graphics as great strengths. The game runs on Unreal Engine 4. There is also talk of an “open, persistent world.”

Bless-Unleasehd-Bogen

How is the combat? It is said to have a “deep and rewarding combat system” with a combo and dodging mechanic. The new MMORPG will also include PvE and PvP.

What does the game have to do with Bless? That is not known at the moment. It could be that it takes place in the world of Bless. However, it has been stated that it is not a port and promised that it will not pull resources from the PC MMORPG.

How many classes will there be? There will be five “traditional” classes, including Arcane Mage and the bloodthirsty Berserker.

Bless-Unleasehd-Maagie

Sounds like pure action MMORPG

This is how the game sounds so far: Bless Unleashed sounds like a real action MMORPG with fantasy elements. It sounds like a modern version of TERA – without much frills and with a focus on combat.

Currently, there is no further information. We will follow the game on Mein MMO and keep an eye on it. It is indeed rare for a new MMORPG to be announced today.

War Thunder: Combat helicopters will soon terrorize tanks

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

The military MMO War Thunder lets you control tanks, planes, and in the beta also ships. However, this is not enough for the developers at Gaijin. Soon, a new class of vehicles will be introduced with combat helicopters. 

When I was preparing my visit to the War Thunder developer Gaijin before Gamescom 2018, there was talk of a new vehicle class. This made me curious, as I couldn’t imagine what could be missing in War Thunder. Perhaps jeeps and armored transports?

WarThunder_AH-1F_3

But then I entered the presentation room at the Gaijin booth and there was a monitor with a presentation: The title was “Ride of the Valkyries” and I knew what it was about: combat helicopters!

The feared air cavalry

What can the helicopters? In the game, the helicopters are highly mobile and agile flying devices. Unlike airplanes, they can hover in place and take cover behind mountains or forests. 

Why are helis so dangerous? The armament with heavy machine guns, masses of unguided rockets, and deadly guided missiles enables devastating surprise attacks. Helicopters appear lightning-fast behind cover and rain down a true barrage on their poor ground targets.

mi-24v-(5)

What are the weaknesses of helicopters? Despite all their power, helis are still glass cannons. Even massive machines like the mighty MI-24 cannot withstand concentrated flak fire for long. Lightweight machines like the Cobra are blown out of the sky even faster. So, anyone wanting to be successful as a heli pilot must proceed cautiously. 

How do I get the helicopters? To obtain a helicopter, you first need to have at least one aircraft or tank or be at rank 5. In battle, you unlock the helis like aircraft by earning enough kills and points. However, since they are slower than planes, helis start closer to the chaos of battle. 

Do helicopters threaten the balancing?

Flying tank destroyers: Combat helicopters emerged in the 1950s, and by the Vietnam War, the “air cavalry” became an extremely effective weapon type. In addition to troop transport and supply in difficult terrain, helicopters armed with cannons and rockets soon became the terror of armored vehicles.

WarThunder_UH-1C_2

A threat to game balance? Entire columns of tanks were swept away by combat helicopters back then. So, I was initially skeptical when I heard about the helicopters. Will they wipe out tanks in droves? Could helicopters possibly ruin the balance? 

According to Gaijin, this will not happen. The helicopters have enough disadvantages: 

  • They are not as fast as planes and can be easily hit. Even with anti-tank guns. Flak vehicles and surface-to-air missiles deal swiftly with helis. 
  • Aircraft can sweep helicopters from the sky in hit-and-run attacks. 
  • Other helicopters are lurking for careless helis. 

No pure air combat mode? Gaijin is not yet sure if there will be a pure air combat mode with helicopters. After all, there have been hardly any battles between heli squadrons in the real world.

Play War Thunder now

The buttons are marked with so-called affiliate links. By signing up through one of these links, we receive a small commission from the provider. For you, nothing changes in this regard.

Which helis will there be?

At the beginning, Gaijin wants to offer helicopters for the USA and the Soviet Union. During the presentation, I could see four machines: 

  • UH-1C and Mi-4AV: These heavyweights are actually converted transports, but with the subsequently mounted rockets and cannons, they can deal considerable damage. 
  • AH-1F “Cobra”: A fully-fledged attack helicopter that is small, agile, and deadly. 
  • Mi-24V: This massive machine is a heavy Russian attack heli. It is heavily armored and armed. Additionally, it is very fast, though not particularly agile.
WarThunder_Mi-4AV_1

When are the helis coming? The attack helicopters are coming with the next update of War Thunder. To get you in the mood for the helis, there is already an impressive trailer that references the legendary helicopter scene from the film Apocalypse Now with the “Ride of the Valkyries” theme.

Fortnite: Find and Search Supply Drop – Here’s How

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One) you must find and search a supply drop three times for the challenges of week 7 in season 5. This is quite tricky. Therefore, we have here a guide for you to the Supply Drops! Here’s how you can find a Supply Drop in Fortnite.

The Battle Pass of Week 7 in Season 5 has only one really difficult challenge: You need to find and open a supply drop three times. This is tricky because supply drops usually come late in the game. Additionally, they are easily overlooked and highly contested.

With our tips and tricks, you can significantly increase your chances of finding supply drops!

How to find the Supply Drops! Tips and Locations

How do I recognize a supply drop? Supply drops are crates that float to the ground from a blue weather balloon. They take 60 seconds to descend (30 in Blitz mode). You can shoot the balloon, but it has a lot of hitpoints. The landing spot of a supply drop in Fortnite is marked with a blue flare. When they are dropped, a signal sound plays.

fortnite-drop

When do the supply drops come out? Supply drops usually start appearing as soon as a new safe zone is established and the storm begins to move. Two supply drops should be dropped per safe zone.

What is in the supply drops? A supply drop guarantees at least one epic or legendary item. Additionally, it contains a trap, ammunition, building materials, and useful items.

How to secure the supply drop

How can I claim a supply drop for myself? Since supply drops can be seen from a distance, many players will always head to them. So you should move very carefully and keep your eyes open. It’s better to wait and shoot at overzealous teammates who rush in. Ideally, build a wall around the drop if you reach it early to have cover right away.

Fortnite-Sturm

Don’t forget the 50s mode: In the game modes where you fight as a team of 50, there are more supply drops. And you can farm them more safely, as there are more players on your team who at least won’t kill you when you want to loot the crates.

Fortnite: How to activate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for free emote

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

If you contribute to the security of your account in Fortnite, you will now receive a Boogie Down emote as a gift for activating two-factor authentication (2FA). Here’s how.

How to get the free glider: We have created a dedicated article for the Free Gift Glider and 2FA here for you.

What is behind the initiative? Fortnite is the largest game in the world, and many hackers have set their sights on players’ accounts. Epic helps players protect their accounts. But too few take advantage of the offer. Now Epic rewards anyone who secures their account.

What does the security look like? Because passwords can be easily cracked, there is a two-factor authentication. If you activate this, you must prove that you are the account owner by entering a code during login.

We will show you here how to activate 2FA for Fortnite and secure your Boogie Down emote.

Fortnite-Baller

Activate 2FA in Fortnite – It’s that easy

No drawbacks: With two-factor authentication, you actually only gain advantages. When you log into your Fortnite account, you first have to enter the code that is sent to you via email or app by the 2FA feature. A hacker would theoretically also need access to your email account (or smartphone) to hack into your account.

Without 2FA, only the username and password are needed for login. The advantages of two-factor authentication are therefore considerable.

Epic helps you with protection: Many gamers are not even aware of this security measure and do not activate it out of ignorance. Here Epic helps and even rewards players for activation. Those who set up 2FA protection will receive a cool emote as a reward.

Fortnite Boogie Down
Thanks, eepicprimee

How to set up 2FA: Visit either Fortnite.com/2FA or click on the “Password and Security” tab on the left side of your Epic Games account page. There, choose two-factor authentication under account security and activate it.

Code via app: If you don’t want to receive your code via email, you can also download authentication apps from the app store. Suitable options include:

  • Google Authenticator
  • LastPass Authenticator
  • Microsoft Authenticator
  • Authy

To activate the 2FA feature, the email address of your Epic account must be verified.

Get the Boogie Down emote

Once you have secured your account with two-factor authentication, you will receive the new Boogie Down emote.

Popup in Fortnite: In Fortnite, you will receive a popup that informs you about the 2FA protection. There, you can confirm that you have activated 2FA.

Fortnite Emote 2FA

No popup, no problem: As players know on Reddit, it’s enough to activate 2FA as described above. You do not need to confirm the popup window in Fortnite. After activating 2FA, if you restart your Fortnite app, your new emote will be displayed.

Leak: These new outfits and cosmetics will be available soon in the Fortnite shop

WoW behebt das Welt-PvP: Endlich sind Charaktere auf 120 stark

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A hotfix pleases all players of World of Warcraft in war mode. Players at a lower level no longer have an advantage.

In World of Warcraft, players at a higher level are again superior to their colleagues at lower levels, at least in the PvP of the war mode. Here, Blizzard has now implemented a hotfix that aims to ensure that players at a higher level always have an advantage over players at a lower level.

More on the topic
Discipline Priests ruin the world PvP in WoW: Battle for Azeroth
von Cortyn
WoW Nightborne PvP title

What was the problem? With Battle for Azeroth, scaling is active in the PvP of the war mode. This ensured that PvP was always possible on a relatively fair basis. A player at level 112 could therefore compete with a player at level 120. However, this was faulty and led to problems due to certain effects, such as those from legendaries from Legion. Many players at lower levels were able to easily overpower players at level 120. This scaling has now been weakened.

Scaling in world PvP is unpopular: In general, this form of scaling is not well-received by fans. There are players who enjoy it, but the vocal part of the community rejects it. They believe that a character at the maximum level should have a clear advantage. This is part of a PvP world, that players at the maximum level can come along and against whom one might struggle.

Players also see problems with scaling elsewhere. Some players claim that quests can be completed more effectively, if they remove the Heart of Azeroth and trinkets. However, this is still a hotly debated topic in the community.

WoW PvP Arenabattle

What do you think of these changes? Do you agree that players at max level should always be more powerful in PvP? Or did you think it was good that even low-level players had a chance in the open world?

Fortnite turns Tomato Town into a temple – Check it out

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, the new patch 5.30 has changed the map. The location Tomato Town has become a kind of temple. There is also an emote that pays homage to the tomato. Also, the skin “Tomato Head” is back in the shop.

This is how it was until now: Tomato Town was rather a dull place on the map in Fortnite. It was a village built around a pizza shop. For a long time, Tomato Town was only known for the giant tomato head that sat atop the pizzeria as its mascot.

However, the head was swallowed by a rift at the end of the last season and has been gone since then.

Fortnite-risse-gehen-weiter-02
The tomato head just before its end.

There was relatively little loot in Tomato Town and only low chances of getting a good start in a game of Fortnite there. Therefore, the place was rather unpopular. Players rarely landed there.

From Tomato Town to Tomato Temple

Now there’s a temple there: With today’s patch 5.0.0, Tomato Town has been replaced by a larger “Tomato Temple.” The name has also been changed.

The “tomato head” is back and now sits not above a pizza palace but above a kind of Aztec temple. There is even an underground cave system in Tomato Temple.

We have embedded a video of the new location in Fortnite:

Tomato skin in the shop: To celebrate this occasion, the tomato head skin is available today in the shop. It can even be upgraded when players complete some challenges. We will have a tomato guide on Mein MMO soon.

Emote has surfaced in the files: Additionally, data miners have found a new emote. With “Praise The Tomato,” players will be able to pay homage to the tomato deity. The appearance of the emote in motion is still unknown.

The emote is currently not available in the shop.

The bosses of WoW: Legion were more successful than the players

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard has released a new infographic detailing its games. It shows: bosses were significantly better at killing than players.

Battlenet Statistics WoW Bosses

At irregular intervals, Blizzard publishes several infographics packed with many little details about World of Warcraft, Heroes of the Storm, Diablo, or generally Battle.net. As preparation for BlizzCon (and fitting with the current Gamescom 2018), there were new updates again. And the results can be amusing.

Bosses from Legion stronger than players: Interestingly, the fact is that the bosses of World of Warcraft in dungeons and raids during the time of Legion have a total of 2.8 billion players on their conscience. The players themselves were less successful, having only killed just under half (around 1.4 billion) bosses. On average, each killed boss has two heroes on its conscience.

Battlenet Statistics murky commendation

Murky dies often: For Heroes of the Storm, it is particularly amusing that the hero Murky has been killed nearly 390 million times. This still may not reach the Murloc population in World of Warcraft, but apparently few people like the little gurgling fish friend.

Battlenet Statistics friends

Recognition for Overwatch players: The system of recognitions in Overwatch also works with great success. Since its introduction a few months ago, players have already distributed 7.4 billion recognitions. One might think that a large part was only awarded to accumulate additional XP…

Koreans have many friends: The figures regarding the social features around Battle.net are also interesting. Players have an average of 21 friends on Battle.net. Only among Koreans is this average significantly higher, as they have an average of 28 friends on their Battle.net list.

You can view the complete infographic at this link.

How many friends do you have on Battle.net? Do you invite everyone? Or do you keep the number low so you can have some peace?

Destiny 2: What actually happened to Queen Mara Sov in Forsaken?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Lore texts of some armor pieces from the upcoming Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2 suggest that the Awoken Queen might have survived – perhaps in a different way than one would expect.

The new Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2 launches soon. Numerous fans are hoping that the fate of the Awoken Queen Mara Sov, sister of Cayde’s murderer Uldren, could be clarified. Some Guardians even assume that they might encounter the Queen.

Warning – Spoiler Alert: The following text may contain spoilers regarding the story or other content of the upcoming Forsaken expansion. Read at your own risk.

Destiny 2: Prelude to Forsaken – Everything about the Awoken and the Reef
von Sven Galitzki
Queen-Destiny

Lore texts of some leaked equipment pieces currently reignite fan hopes. Will there be a reunion? And if so – on which side will Mara Sov stand?

Queen Mara Sov may have survived Oryx’s assault

Mara appears to have survived: According to the lore texts of the upcoming “Reverie Dawn” Warlock set, which recently leaked alongside numerous other details on Reddit, Mara Sov somehow survived the massive explosion triggered by Oryx. She was apparently transported to the Ascendant Plane.

What is the Ascendant Plane? The Ascendant Plane connects the different components of the Ascendant Realm.

This realm is a parallel dimension divided into numerous fragments called Throne Worlds. Each of these worlds is ruled by a god – be it Crota, Oryx, or any other Hive or Worm god. They are immune to any damage from outside the realm. Therefore, the Ascendant Hive can die as often as they want in the physical world, but they can only be completely erased in their own Throne World.

D1 dreadnought

Although the Throne Worlds are held together by the Ascendant Plane, they can also be bound to physical objects. For instance, Oryx’s Throne World was bound to the Dreadnaught using magic from his daughters Ir Anûk and Ir Halak. Thus, the entire ship could be both physical and ascendant at the same time.

While the Ascendant Plane itself is closed off to non-Ascendants, access can still be gained through certain means – among others, via Hive portals or the Taken decay.

Some individuals were even “allowed” to enter the Ascendant Realm – such as Toland, the Shattered.

Destiny Dreadnought x1

The Queen apparently managed to escape: According to the lore text, the Awoken Queen was able to flee the Ascendant Plane after Oryx’s death. She subsequently returned to the Dreaming City in a new body, with her new vessel containing no molecules carrying the code of her former body.

Is Mara Sov still the same? This detail currently leaves many fans puzzled. Does she still look the same, but doesn’t remember everything? Does she have a completely different form or is she corrupted? And if she has truly returned to the physical world – is she still our ally or a new enemy? Or does she have her own agenda?

destiny ahamkara 4

By September 4, 2018, all Guardians should be wiser. That’s when the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2 launches.

By the way: Representatives of the Ahamkara boss theory feel further validated by the new lore texts. Because in the description of the Warlock gauntlet, Mara Sov speaks of a creature with wings and sharp teeth. Fans suspect another reference to an Amakhara.

Fortnite Skins Leak: These new outfits and cosmetics will soon be in the shop

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 5 minutes

In Fortnite, new skins and cosmetic items have returned to the game’s code with patch 5.30. Data miners have already found them and present in a skins leak what we can expect. The outfits and cosmetics will likely soon land in the Fortnite shop.

New patch, new leaks: With patch 5.30, which just arrived, there are also plenty of new items in the code. There are outfits, gliders, fall animations, pickaxes, and much more that data miners have already extracted.

We will show you the new skins coming to the shop in the coming days.

Is this official? No, it’s not official. But it is quite certain that the items will be found in the shop sooner or later. Because Fortnite constantly needs new supply for its store to keep the money rolling in. Therefore, new skins are released every week that players can buy for V-Bucks.

V-Bucks can be purchased with real money, so Fortnite finances itself.

Is a new starter pack coming?

This is a special feature: This skin is likely a new starter pack. This could be another offer where players receive a skin, a backpack, and some V-Bucks for €5.

In the past, such offers have been particularly popular. They draw players to the shop and generate “first purchases” for Epic. The idea behind this is that a player who has purchased something once is more likely to purchase something a second time.

FN-Starter-Pack

Another special feature: According to information from the data miners “DieBuddies”, there should be a skin available for purchase that can be modified. The tomato head is back. Players should be able to customize the head here.

So far, such customizable skins have always been tied to specific challenges. The tomato head should be freely purchasable in the shop. The expansions can then be unlocked. We will make another article about this.

All new skins coming soon to the Fortnite shop

These are the new skins: We present to you the new outfits in a gallery. There are some pairs included. It seems clear that they belong together, like the hippies, samurais, or the military look.

New pickaxes: 4 new pickaxes have been found by data miners in the files of patch 5.30.

Extraordinarily many new back blings: A total of 12 back blings have been found in the files. One can well imagine how they will match the skins. The guitar case looks like it belongs to the hippies. There are several military designs, even wings, and some for rockers as well. So plentiful choices in 5.30.

4 new gliders: 4 new gliders were discovered in the files of 5.30.

6 new emotes: We have the names for the emotes, thanks to the data miners Two Epic Buddies.

Emote-6

This is the “Warehouse Dance.”

Emote-5

Here someone pays tribute to the tomato head with the “PraiseTheTomateEmote.”

Emote-4

This is the emote “Maracas.”

Emote-3

Here we see “Fancy Feet”, apparently a dance emote.

Emote-2

This is the emote “DustingOffHands”, someone is probably dusting off their hands in Fortnite.

Emote-1

This seems to be another dance, the Brazilian martial art “Capoeira” lends its name.

Two trails animations: The end of the leak is marked by these 2 trails animations. They are displayed when players crash from the air. These are the flight trails.

A special skin is not available through the shop, but through the Road Trip Challenge. We will show you here:

The Division: Patch 1.8.3 is here – With changes to Striker and bug fixes

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

Patch 1.8.3 for The Division is on the way. This Thursday, August 23, the new update is expected to go live after server maintenance. The new features include balance adjustments and bug fixes. Everything you need to know is here.

While players currently have the opportunity to try out The Division 2 at Gamescom, something is also happening with The Division 1. Today, on August 23, Patch 1.8.3 arrives.

The update brings bug fixes and focuses on balancing. The build diversity is expected to be increased through changes to the Secret Stalker set and an exotic shotgun.

Prior to that, as every Thursday, there will be server maintenance: This is already ongoing and is expected to last until 12:30 PM.

Update 12:15: Some players report varying download sizes. The numbers may differ even on the same platform.

the division rikers vs cleaners

Balance Changes to the Stalker and Support Station

Changes to the Stalker: The Stalker set has also been revised and now differentiates between PvE and PvP. There are changes for both areas, but they are significantly lower in PvE.

What exactly has been changed and why this could affect The Division 2, you can find out here with us.

Support Station is revised: Massive realized during the development of Patch 1.8.3 that the master mod of the support station is too strong. This allows players to heal themselves when they are within range of their support station and destroy it.

the division 123

Players used this to place their support station and then immediately destroy it. The healing boost was stronger than the first aid skill, unless one has an electronic build.

While this still works, to receive the full healing, the support station must remain longer before it is destroyed.

“Running in Place” Bug and Showstopper Fixed

Changes: After some delay, the notorious “Running in Place” bug has finally been fixed. This bug had a massive impact on the overall experience of The Division and had existed for months.

However, most players did not even know about its existence until recently. This is what this bug was about.

Showstopper is being fixed: Additionally, Massive is fixing a bug that made the Showstopper too powerful. The exotic shotgun could fire faster than it was supposed to through the right usage.

Furthermore, there will be some minor optimizations, such as

  • the expansion of the Skirmish mode which should be available to everyone starting with 1.8.3
  • or the “Rainbow Six” commendation, where players can now also use exotic items for completion (previously only grey/green/blue/purple/gold and gear set were allowed)

  • PS4: 3.79 GB
  • PC: 3.6 GB (Steam)
  • Xbox One: 4.2 GB

Ex-Entwickler sagt: WildStar war von Anfang an zum Scheitern verurteilt

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

A former developer of the MMORPG WildStar explains why the online role-playing game was not successful. According to him, the game never had a chance during development.

Why did the promising MMORPG WildStar fail? A former developer of the online game has now commented on this. According to him, the game actually never had a chance for success from the very beginning.

WildStar had no chance, according to former developers

The failure of a WoW killer: WildStar was supposed to establish itself alongside World of Warcraft in the market. However, that didn’t happen. Player numbers kept dropping. Even the Steam launch couldn’t really help. Even though the MMORPG still exists today and has a small but loyal fanbase, it was never a real success.

WildStar Free to Play Assassins

The game had no chance: In response to a video about WildStar, a former developer named Sam Noone has come forward. He explains from his perspective why the MMORPG failed. According to him, the problems began even before the release, which doomed WildStar from the start.

  • Sam Noone joined the team in the fifth year of development and noticed that there was no clear direction guiding the development
  • The team could not agree on ideas. The game fell victim to the typical error of “too many cooks spoil the broth”
  • Tim Cain, as the leader, is said by Sam Noone to be responsible for a large part of the mismanagement
  • Halfway through production, almost the entire concept was scrapped and greatly altered
  • Features were tested too little, which is why much of the game did not function properly at release
  • The PvP system didn’t even work “on paper”
  • The team’s feedback was ignored. The content that was best received by players – like hoverboards – was not planned by management but was “sneaked in” by the developers
  • The team was forced to work months in what was called crunch time with 17-hour workdays and 6-day weeks

von Cortyn

WildStar was once good: According to Sam Noone, there was a time when WildStar played really well during development. However, then changes were made and decisions taken that made everything worse.

Whether all of this is really true and not just the exaggerated criticism of a former and now frustrated employee of Carbine Studios cannot be said.

Pokémon GO: End of the Johto Event now known – Here’s how long it lasts

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Currently, the Johto event is ongoing in Pokémon GO. Niantic has now confirmed on which day the event ends and the bonuses will disappear.

Niantic announced days ago that the arrival of Celebi will bring additional interesting bonuses. New field research projects and more frequent spawns of Pokémon from the Johto region are currently active. In the German announcement, Niantic did not mention when the event ends. Upon inquiry, the team revealed that this event will remain active until August 28.

Johto Event – When does it end?

Officially confirmed: Niantic made an announcement about the end of the Johto event on some Pokémon GO websites, like the Japanese one. There, the event is said to end in the early hours of August 29. In Germany, this is several hours earlier.

End of the event: The Johto event ends in Germany on Tuesday, August 28, at 10:00 PM. Niantic confirmed this to TheSilphRoad.

Pokémon GO Shinys Johto

What bonuses are available during the event

Since the Johto event has been active since Monday evening, August 20, you may have already noticed some bonuses.

  • Spawns in the wild: You will encounter more monsters from the Johto region in the wild.
  • New Shinys: The shiny forms of Tannza, Sonnkern, and Natu can now be found in the game.
  • New bosses: New raid bosses are roaming in the arenas worldwide. The starters of the 2nd generation, as well as Sonnkern and Yanma, can be found in level-1 raids in Pokémon GO. In this overview, we show you which arena bosses are also active in Pokémon GO.
  • Celebi quests: Now, there are also new special research tasks in Pokémon GO that reward you with an encounter with the mystical Pokémon Celebi. We have a guide that shows you all the quests and bonuses of the new special research. The Celebi quests will remain active in Pokémon GO even after the Johto event.

WoW: Feral Druids will be strengthened by up to 20% – is that enough?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A series of buffs is intended to encourage druids in WoW to choose the cat form again. There are increases of up to 20%.

WoW Legion Druid balance

With the release of Battle for Azeroth, there should be a fundamental balance between the different classes in World of Warcraft. However, one specialization stands out as particularly weak: the Feral Druid. Many players avoid this specialization because it simply deals too little damage, cannot keep up in dungeons, and even encounters problems while questing. Now there are significant buffs.

What will be boosted? A total of three abilities of the Feral Druid will receive significant buffs. The changes are as follows:

  • Brutal Slash deals 20% more damage.
  • Rending Claw deals 15% more damage.
  • Maul deals 15% more damage.

Additionally, there’s another fix: Druids will no longer lose their buffs Berserker, Tiger Fury, and Incarnation: King of the Jungle when they switch forms (e.g., to heal). The buff persists during form switching. This allows the druid to temporarily exit the form to cast something like Regrowth and then switch back to cat form with the buff still active.

WoW Battle for Azeroth Troll Forms Druid

The community wants more. While some players are happy that there are improvements for the druid at all, many are also disappointed. They feel these buffs do not go far enough and are allegedly “just a drop in the bucket.” The Feral Druid therefore needs further buffs to compete with the other classes.

There is still no exact release date for the buffs, but Blizzard expects it to be “within the next 48 hours” – so at the latest by Saturday morning.

Are you looking forward to the changes to the druid and will you try Feral again? Or does it need even more for you to switch back to cat form?

EA confirms: FIFA 19 does not change much in Pro Club and Career

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 19, what some players feared comes true. EA focuses on other priorities than Pro Club and Career. Fans have long wished for improvements for these two modes. What is happening for the Career Mode and Pro Club in FIFA 19?

Update:

EA confirms fears: As GameSpot US reports, Electronic Arts confirms that the two modes, Career and Pro Club, remain practically unchanged in FIFA 19.

This is exactly what fans feared after first leaks: The two modes are regarded as fan favorites that chronically receive too little attention from Electronic Arts. Players have created long wish lists for the Pro Club, but EA seems unable to fulfill the wishes even with FIFA 19.

What is EA doing instead? EA focuses on the Story Mode “The Journey” and the cash cow “FIFA Ultimate Team.” The new feature “Kick Off”, the kickoff mode, will also be expanded. These three areas are where EA focuses its efforts.

What does EA say?  Lead Gameplay Producer Sam Rivera says to GameSpot:

“In the Career Mode, we decided to make the Champions League 100% authentic. When the Champions League is played, everything changes. There is a reskin. That was our highest priority.”

“But we listen to our fans. They had expected more things, bigger things for the Career Mode and the Pro Club. We are currently discussing what we can add in the future. We know that it’s a very passionate community. But for now, that’s all we can say about the two modes. We are having discussions, we are listening to the community to see what we can bring to these modes.”

These are the tiny changes in FIFA 19 in Career Mode

Changes in Career Mode: During the course of the interview, three new things for the Career Mode of FIFA 19 were confirmed:

  • There are new cutscenes for the locker room
  • The “Ultimate” difficulty, which was previously only in FUT, comes to the Career Mode
  • And the club emblem receives a star when the club wins the Champions League

The fans’ wish list was significantly longer:

A third-person targeting glitch divides the PS4 community of H1Z1

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

A third-person aiming glitch in the PS4 version of the Battle Royale shooter H1Z1 polarizes fans and currently causes a lot of controversy within the community.

H1Z1

A glitch in the Battle Royale game H1Z1 is currently stirring up the emotions of fans. However, the community is divided. While parts of the player community complain about the glitch and find it particularly unfair, other fans support the glitch and even want it to be a permanent feature in the game.

Third Person Aiming in H1Z1 – Cheating or a Useful Feature?

This is how aiming in H1Z1 on the PS4 looks: H1Z1 is played from a third-person perspective. The aiming in H1Z1 on the PS4 works as follows:

  • One can shoot from the hip in the third-person view. This allows for quicker movements and provides better visibility. However, precision suffers as a result.
  • One can use the weapon’s sights to significantly increase precision. However, the view switches to the first-person perspective.
H1Z1-Hit-Marker

As a result, H1Z1 differs in this area from other battle royale titles such as Fortnite, which is played entirely in third-person, except for weapons with scopes.

H1Z1-Auto-Royale-07

What does the glitch do? The controversially discussed glitch allows players on the PS4 to use the weapon’s sights without leaving the third-person view. How exactly the glitch can be executed will not be described. However, it is very easy and straightforward. Afterwards, the player can aim and shoot in the third-person perspective for the rest of the match. This provides a much better overview of the surroundings.

The Controversy: This glitch is part of an ongoing debate since launch and is currently being hotly discussed within the PS4 community. Unlike the PS4, aiming in third-person view in the PC version of H1Z1 is a fixed feature and has been around for some time.

While the PC and PS4 versions of the game differ, many PS4 players take the PC version as a prime example and demand a fixed implementation of third-person aiming in the console port. These demands were raised even before the glitch appeared and are growing louder in the current discussion.

Developers are working on the issue: As confirmed by the developers at Daybreak Games, they have already taken on the problem and are working on a fix. Whether they plan to bring third-person aiming as a fixed feature to the PS4 in the future is currently unknown.

What do you think of this glitch? And how do you see third-person aiming in general? A useful feature or bad for the game?

Other fans want the glitch to be fixed but would appreciate a separate mode that supports third-person aiming – similar to PUBG, where there are first-person-only servers.

Meanwhile, others are completely against any possibility of third-person aiming. This would bring H1Z1 too close to Fortnite, and the battles would no longer feel as intense and exciting. Furthermore, according to some players, it would take away the tactical aspect of the fights, as one could more easily bypass or surprise an opponent in the first-person perspective.

H1Z1-Gratis-01

Some fans even go so far as to condemn third-person aiming as cheating, as it allows players to look around corners or through doors much better. This would only lead to more campers.

Fortnite: What’s in Update 5.30? Patch notes in English

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Today the new update 5.30 arrives for Fortnite. We take a look at the patch notes in English and tell you what the patch brings new this week for “Battle Royale” and “Save the World”.

The highlights this week are a new mode with point hunting, the item “Portable Rift” and a new weapon for PvE.

Highlights of the Patch Notes for Fortnite Battle Royale

New mode “Points Royale”: In this mode, the first player to reach a certain score wins (Solo-2000, Duo-3000, Team-4500). Points can be earned for almost everything:

  • You can collect special coins (Bronze 30, Silver 50, Gold 100),
  • Eat an apple or mushroom – 10
  • Open ammo boxes (25), chests (50), or supply llamas (100)
  • or eliminate opponents for points (100).

The storm in the new “Points Royale” mode gives players more space at the beginning, but quickly tightens towards the end.

New item “Portable Rift”: This item is epic and comes in single stacks – you can carry a maximum of 2 Portable Rifts. When you use the portable rift, you will be teleported into the sky. Other players can also use the rift. It remains open for 10 seconds. As seen in the video, it seems that opening occurs almost immediately after a brief shaking animation.

Change to shotguns: Shotguns can now be equipped in 0.88 seconds (previously 0.96). If you fire a double-barreled shotgun while crouching, the spread radius is reduced by 15%.

Change to sticky grenades: The sticky grenades in Fortnite no longer explode immediately when the object they are attached to is destroyed. They drop down and stick to the next object they hit. They only explode once the timer runs out.

Horde Challenge - FN

Highlights of the Patch Notes 5.30 for “Save the World”

Better defenders. Defenders that players can deploy in missions now consume 33% less ammunition and weapon durability.

New Horde Challenge: This week brings 16 waves which are shorter than usual. Enemies are faster and you have less preparation time. As a reward, you can earn one of two legendary weapons.

Thunder Gun

New weapon Thunder Gun: This is an assault rifle and is described as “surprisingly accurate flintlock rifle with multiple barrels”. The item will be available for one week in the game store. It can be purchased with gold.

Save the World is currently suffering from significant issues. Missions do not provide rewards – a hotfix yesterday was not entirely successful. We will see after the patch if it has improved.

You can find the complete patch notes for Fortnite here.

However, the biggest change this week was not mentioned in the patch notes. There is a new location in Fortnite Battle Royale:

There is too much gold in WoW – and this will be a problem for players

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 4 minutes

The value of gold in World of Warcraft is too low. Players will face this inflation hard in the future with Battle for Azeroth.

The US site Polygon points out a current problem in World of Warcraft:

There is an increasing amount of gold in the game. The current value for gold is decreasing. This could mean major difficulties in the future that WoW and the players will have to deal with.

According to Polygon, this problem has existed for years, but with WoW: Battle for Azeroth, it has become acute.

WoW Goblin Gold

Gold is becoming too cheap

Much gold, little work: The economy of World of Warcraft is currently struggling with the fact that gold is becoming less and less valuable. Some players are pleased about this for the moment, as they can accumulate larger amounts of gold with relatively little work in the game. However, this has consequences in the long run.

Crafting is not worth it: Due to the crafting system in Battle for Azeroth, the gathering of reagents is going much slower. Players are currently more focused on equipping their characters than farming herbs and ores.

The WoW Token is providing more gold per Euro

Problem with the WoW Token: There is currently little incentive for players to gather reagents at all. Although the price for crafting materials is quite high, a single WoW Token is worth so much gold that players can save several hours of work by purchasing a token – depending on the server.

The WoW Token can be purchased for real money and then exchanged for “gold” in WoW. The price of the token fluctuates: Over the years, players have generally received more gold per Euro for the token.

These auction house traders make up only a small group of players, but they hoard large amounts of gold. They buy items and resell them, which further tightens the market because fewer traders offer goods.

WoW Gold Goblin title

What is the problem? In short: it is no longer worthwhile for players to farm items when they can buy cheaper gold for real money. The market has an abundance of gold in the long run, but only a few traders offer their items at exorbitant prices because they control the market.

Moreover, gold is an endless resource in World of Warcraft. Vendors to whom gray items can be sold, or quests that reward players with gold, continuously generate more gold out of nothing.

Polygon believes that a potential and likely consequence of inflation could be that some items, such as flasks, will experience immense price increases in the future. The more people buy gold, the less it will be worth in the long run. And this will affect all players.

For players, this means: either buy tokens for real money or start farming and crafting themselves and become self-sufficient.

Do you have too much gold left? Then you can buy this dino for 5 million.

For players who have no interest in gold and farming in WoW, the WoW Token has become a means to completely ignore this part of the game. When they need gold, they buy a WoW Token from Blizzard for Euros and sell the token in the game for WoW gold.

The rich get richer

A small group has most of the gold: The few people who farm reagents and other items themselves usually sell their loot without much economic knowledge in the auction house.

These resources are often purchased by traders, i.e., players who play WoW like an economic simulation.
