Destiny 2: Watch 15 Minutes of PvP Gameplay from Forsaken

In the combat stream on Tuesday night, Bungie showcased a lot of changes that Destiny 2 is experiencing with Forsaken. Everyone who missed the stream can now watch the PvP matches in a video.

Bungie presented some new features in the recent combat stream that PvP players can look forward to in Destiny 2 with Forsaken. In two matches, the developers faced off against each other.

They showcased not only some of the nine new supers but also the new weapon system. In the upcoming expansion, primary, secondary, and heavy weapons are no longer necessarily tied to their respective slots. In one round, Community Manager Cozmo decided to carry a shotgun in each of the three weapon slots.

Destiny-2-Super

Particular attention was given to the Solar Titan, whose new path Code of the Devastator was seen in action several times. His super generates a flaming hammer that can be swung around and knocks opponents right out of their boots. Also demonstrated was the melee attack, where hammers are thrown, remain in the world, and can be picked up again.

We summarized further highlights from the combat stream in our live ticker:

German cheat developer shuts down due to Fortnite hacks

Epic means business when it comes to Fortnite and cheats. A cheating company from Germany received a cease-and-desist letter from the Frankfurt District Court. The company is now throwing in the towel. This likely means that some cheats have been taken out of circulation.

Cheats from German lands: A company from Pfaffenhofen, EngineOwning, has been distributing cheats for games like Call of Duty and Battlefield for several years, according to its own statements. They also tried to enter Fortnite. It would have been better if they hadn’t.

The boss of the company admits on his website that he is stopping his work and now wants to sell his company.

Fortnite-Ninja

Cease-and-desist letter from the USA was ignored

Activision was no problem: The boss writes (via EngineOwning) that he started developing cheats at the age of 14 and has gained quite a bit of experience in the last 4 years.

They did receive a cease-and-desist letter from Activision regarding Call of Duty, and they reportedly sent a private investigator after the cheaters.

But that was not a problem. Because Activision’s letter came from the USA. Here in Germany, the cheat manufacturer felt secure. They believed nothing “serious” could happen.

Fortnite-Wick

Bossland changes the situation: However, Activision-Blizzard has conducted numerous lawsuits against the cheat company “Bossland” from Zwickau in recent years before German courts. Ultimately, the courts ruled in favor of Activision-Blizzard.

The once-thriving bot company Bossland gradually lost ground. They had to stop their products, pay high court costs, and ultimately give up.

von Schuhmann

There, the developer of the Call of Duty and Fortnite cheats realized that the tide was turning.

Epic means business: From Epic, then, there was no letter from the USA, but one from the Frankfurt District Court. The cheater does not want to contest this cease-and-desist order but prefers to close his company instead.

Rechtsstreit-FN
The court’s letter was published in a forum as evidence that Epic means business and that the operator of the cheats has no other choice but to close down. Source: High-Minded.

He is afraid that he will ruin himself and his company if he contests this cease-and-desist order.

Fortnite cheat included aimbot and wallhack

What kind of cheat was this? The cheat for Fortnite has not been offered for a while now. User reviews (via EngineOwning) indicate that the cheat had the following features:

  • A radar that shows enemy players and reveals the location of containers and their contents
  • A wallhack
  • An aimbot that disables bullet drop and also likely eliminates spread
fortnite-battle-royale

What do his customers say?

  • The direct customers of EngineOwning are shocked. They had always had the best cheats.
  • In a hacker forum, the development is viewed critically. One critic there believes it was a mistake to develop cheats for Fortnite. They are known for their harsh measures. He accuses the cheat manufacturer of being “naive.”

This is what it’s about: Epic takes a hard stance against providers of cheats and hacks. They seem to want to build a reputation that clearly says: “Don’t even try.”

Thanks to our reader David. He brought this story to our attention.

We have already reported on the bizarre case of a convinced cheater:

PUBG starts “Fix the Game” campaign, finally wants to fix bugs

PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) is going to tackle the issues that annoy players. With a new campaign, the focus is on fixing problems.

Nothing new, right? Fixes are nothing new for PUBG at first glance. In past updates, bugs have been addressed repeatedly. However, this did not always meet player expectations.

In the new Fix-The-Game campaign, the focus is solely on fixing bugs, implementing quality-of-life features, and improving performance.

What’s on the “Fix the Game” agenda

No distractions: If the campaign’s plan is to be believed, then the bugs that have long annoyed fans will actually be fixed now. Players have long complained that the game runs “unsteady.” New game modes or other gimmicks that could distract from bug fixes are not on the agenda.

PUBG Road Map
An excerpt from the Fix-PUBG roadmap

The beginning is a patch: At the start, there was already a patch for the live servers that allows additional graphic options such as “Sharpening” or setting the FPS limit. Players can also mute their teammates. Several bug fixes are included in this first patch.

Roadmap for planned tasks: In a roadmap, the PUBG developers show what work is upcoming. In August, it will focus on character optimizations and further improvements to client performance. Server performance, anti-cheat, and matchmaking are also on the agenda.

In addition, PUBG has launched a website for Fix-PUBG, where you can see in detail what exactly is planned.

PUBG Road Map2

Not just for PC: Many of the improvements for the PC version will also be transferred directly to the Xbox version.

What does the community say?

Positive feedback: On Reddit, many users are pleased that PUBG is openly addressing the current issues, involving the community, and wants to actively improve the game.

User kuroti writes: I am very proud of you at PUBG Corp. If this works and you manage to keep your promises and “fix” PUBG, you will have a solid game for the coming years.

To this, community manager PUBG_Hawkinz responded that the player experience needs to be improved and the game needs repairs. That is what they are doing now.

PUBG Update 20

Now players are eager to see if the plan of the PUBG developers will work. What do you think of the campaign?

WoW: The War Goes On – Siege of Undercity is Live!

The battle for Azeroth is already raging in World of Warcraft. The Alliance is marching against Undercity!

Just a week ago, the cinematic was revealed in World of Warcraft, where Sylvanas ignited Teldrassil and extinguished a large part of the civilization of the Night Elves. Now, the Alliance seeks revenge and plans to conquer the Eastern Kingdoms – the battle for Undercity has begun!

WoW Lordaeron Ending Sylvanas 1

Revenge for Darnassus. The Alliance is calling for a counterattack. In response to the burning of Teldrassil, Anduin leads the troops of the Alliance to take revenge on Sylvanas. Following a swift attack, Brill is annihilated and a path of destruction is carved through Tirisfal – there, the Alliance forces take their positions.

A scenario in two variants. Depending on whether you are playing as the Alliance or Horde, you will see the scenario from different perspectives – however, the general process is the same. Alliance players attempt to storm and conquer the Undercity, while Horde members prepare defenses and aim to repel the enemy troops. It’s a constant back and forth – we won’t reveal the exact outcome of the battle just yet.

Anyone who wants to see the three cinematics from the event immediately can check them out here:

How can you participate in the battle of Undercity?

The battle for Undercity is part of the pre-event for Battle for Azeroth and is therefore available to all players – regardless of whether they have purchased Battle for Azeroth or not. After the server maintenance on August 8, 2018, the starting quest should be available. The quest begins automatically when you are in a capital city and have completed the other steps of the pre-event “War of the Thorns”. Anduin or Sylvanas calls you to their side.

H1Z1 has been released – Everything about the PS4 version of the Free2Play shooter

The PS4 version of the battle royale shooter H1Z1 has exited the open beta phase and is getting a battle pass model. Here are all the details about the release of the free-to-play shooter. Although the release of H1Z1 is a bit rocky with a server down on PS4.

What is H1Z1? H1Z1 is a battle royale shooter that primarily reminds of the big competitor PUBG on PS4.

As in other battle royale games, the play area in H1Z1 narrows over time. Up to 100 players compete as solo fighters or in groups on a large map, fighting until only one player/group remains alive.

Beta phase over: The open beta of H1Z1 on PS4 has been running for several months. Now the developer studio Daybreak announces the official release. H1Z1 is officially out of beta and thus a full-fledged free-to-play title. The servers went online on August 7th.

There won’t be any changes to the gameplay; a battle pass and various starter bundles will be unlocked at launch.

h1z1-titel-2

All about the new battle pass

What is the battle pass? The battle pass is a type of season pass that unlocks various content. However, players must complete specific tasks to do so.

Three different battle passes: The battle pass will have three different versions:

  • A battle pass for everyone (free),
  • A premium pass (costs €5),
  • which will be free for plus members.

The advantages of the premium pass are that players can buy certain rewards with crowns that other players can only obtain by completing tasks.

Without crowns, players must earn specific medals to fulfill these requirements. 10 of these medals will grant you a promotion to the next rank of the battle pass.

How do PS4 players earn medals? You earn medals through

  • completing daily challenges,
  • and leveling up your season level. This increases automatically as you play and earn EXP.
H1Z1-Hit-Marker

What happens to the skulls you earned in beta?

A new currency: All skulls you earned in beta will be converted into a new currency. Skulls will become credits. 50 skulls equal one credit.

Earn medals: The daily challenges that previously rewarded you with skulls will now instead provide medals that you can use to level up your battle pass. The exchange option will be available from the release.

The new credits

Credits are the new currency introduced in the PS4 version of H1Z1. With these, you can purchase items like skins and outfits. Certain items will be available in a store whose offerings change regularly.

How do I earn credits? Initially, primarily through double skins and items you should sell. As you reach higher battle pass levels, you will earn more credits.

During the open beta, numerous players apparently took a look at H1Z1. The online shooter was the most downloaded F2P title on PS4 in June. According to developer Daybreak, over 10 million players registered in the beta.

10 million new players in our first month in open beta is an incredible milestone, and our entire development team has worked tirelessly to build on that early success.

Minor issues at H1Z1’s release with the server down on PS4

When does H1Z1 launch on PS4?  The launch was originally announced for 19:00. However, the release has been slightly delayed. There have repeatedly been problems and patches. Currently, the H1Z1 PS4 servers are still down, but Daybreak is on it. It should start soon.

See the live stream of the fight in Destiny 2 – We are live-ticking

This evening, there will be the big stream from Bungie about the combat in Destiny 2 from Forsaken. Here with us, you can follow the live stream on MAX starting at 7:00 PM. We are also tweeting in German at Mein MMO.

What will happen this evening?? Destiny is launching the “Year 2 Combat Reveal Stream.” Cynically one might say: It is the illustrated announcement of exactly how the gameplay changes with Forsaken.

More kindly put: The stream is expected to present the changes in PvP and PvE that are planned for Destiny 2 starting from the expansion “Forsaken”.

Destiny-2-Forsaken-Uld

What can we expect? The big questions for PvP players will be:

It is already clear that the “time to kill” will drop and therefore the speed in combat will increase. The question is: How far will it go down?

Perhaps we will also see some new weapons or catch a glimpse of one or the other surprise. Bungie has had a long “reveal marathon” in which they have revealed a lot about Forsaken through the magazine “Game Informer”. Perhaps they still have something left for their own stream.

Where can you watch it? The stream starts today, on August 7th, at 7 PM. You can follow the stream here:

https://www.twitch.tv/bungie

Live ticker: We will traditionally accompany the stream on Mein MMO with a live ticker in German. There, you can read along during the stream or later find out what exactly was shown. And you can also see in the comments what other readers think of what is being shown.

6:30 PM: Even though “Forsaken” is often mentioned ahead of the stream, everyone will receive those combat updates being presented today. This is regardless of whether someone buys Forsaken or not. The changes will come with the big update that will be released for free and for everyone.

What’s next for Destiny 2?

6:34: On August 28, already in 3 weeks, the big “pre-Forsaken” patch will be released. This will already bring the changes to the weapon slots. That should ultimately be the “new combat” that Bungie will present today.

One week later, on September 4, the Forsaken patch will come with random rolls on weapons and the new mod system.

Destiny 2 Roadmap July 2018

6:36 PM: So we already know most of the details before today’s reveal. It will now be about clarifying some detail questions.

6:47: Those who thought, “Well, Bungie must rethink after Destiny 2 and become a little less commercial,” will probably be disappointed. It did look a bit like it was going in that direction, after hearing self-critical tones.

Some even wished that Bungie would give away Forsaken for free “out of remorse.” But the trailers and actions are still running at full throttle and head in a completely different direction.

6:50: I know many people want to let themselves be hyped in peace and not hear any dissonances ahead of Forsaken, but … I would have wished for different signals from Bungie than “Pre-order and get back Pik-Ass. Avenge Cayde-6 by pre-ordering now.”

6:53: Hopefully, this doesn’t cause any trouble. Greetings to the Destiny Defense Force.

6:55: In connection with this evening. Present will be:

  • DeeJ: he has been promoted and is now “Communications Director”
  • Josh Hamrick: he is the “hat guy” from back then, now Sandbox Design Lead – so still the one who nerfs Hunters
  • Greg Peng: Senior Sandbox Designer
  • Claude Jerome: Senior Gameplay Designer

By the way, I need a cooler title myself. I should promote myself somehow. Major or something.

6:58: A bit strange that nothing is happening yet. Normally, there should have been a sound check by now, but the stream is still offline.

6:59: Ah, now things are moving. They say it starts at 7:10 PM.

7:02: Bungie tweeted an image from the studio. Hat guy Josh Hamrick is the one in the hat in the middle. DeeJ is on the right, Greg Peng is probably on the left.

Bungie-DeeJ

The live stream for the combat reveal in Destiny 2 begins

7:13: Topics today

  • Weapon balance
  • Skill balance
  • New features

Bungie wants to give us enough information today so that we can think about how we want to play starting September.

Star players should shine again

7:14: Goals in year 2 are,

  • to give players more options. Those who want to play offensively and quickly should be able to do so. Those who want to play slower and more defensively should be able to tailor their character accordingly.
  • make loot more interesting so players stay with Destiny 2 longer
  • the meta should not remain static, but change and stay fresh longer
  • want to bring more heroic moments into the game by increasing the skill gap. In the “right hands,” Destiny should be insane and give the best players the chance to shine.

7:16: 9 new supers will provide variety and give everyone a new way to play. They have adjusted all sorts of things they found to be too weak.

destiny-2-bungie-combat-stream-warlock

How the weapon slots are changing

7:19: There are three new icons for weapons indicating ammo “Primary, Special and Heavy.” In the first 2 slots (Primary and Energy), you can have weapons that use Primary and Special. In the 3rd slot only “Heavy.”

7:20: Bows are “Primary” weapons. Some grenade launchers can run on “Special” ammo.

7:21: The idea is that there are more options, but not an outrageous amount. It is possible to play with 3 grenade launchers or 3 shotguns if you want, because there are “Heavy” and “Special” versions of those weapon types.

7:23: The aggro playstyle will probably be Special/Special/Heavy. At least that’s what’s expected by Bungie.

destiny-2-bungie-combat-stream-better-devils

How the random rolls work

7:25: Each time a weapon drops, its complete perk set is re-rolled.

7:26: You can upgrade the weapons to 10 using a “tier” system. Masterwork cores and legendary shards will be consumed. At tier 10, a legendary weapon will then be a masterwork with kill tracker and a stat boost.

destiny-2-bungie-combat-stream-better-devils-mods

How the new mod system works

7:27: Mods no longer give “+5”, but now have a variety of properties that affect the weapon.

7:28: When you dismantle a weapon, you receive the mod of the weapon and can reuse it.

7:30: For those who find it too fast, there is no need to worry. We currently have diligent Destiny 2 authors at Mein MMO who will summarize and explain the essentials in detailed articles tomorrow.

7:33: By the way, around 85,000 viewers are watching.

Destiny 2 Forsaken titan super

Everything is going to be a little deadlier in Destiny 2

7:34: Bungie’s big balance goal is that players always have options and can react to everything. One change has made a lot of difference. Guardians die from:

  • 2 melee hits
  • and 3 headshots
  • Shoulder attacks from Titans and similar skills kill again instantly

The combat has become faster, say the designers. Since switching from the “3-melee” to a “2-melee” meta, they also had to increase other damage sources.

7:37: They have adjusted the supers and played around with balance. Golden Gun should last longer (2 seconds). Other supers like Tether should be more reliable. At the end of the stream, there will be a live demonstration of the changed game in the crucible.

7:41: We switch live to the Mein MMO editorial staff. Our Destiny expert Sven is currently murmuring: “TTK is noticeably shorter,” while Micha agrees and comments on a super in the stream with “OMG.” Thanks for that. Back to me.

destiny-2-bungie-combat-stream-pvp-bow

7:44: Bow action in the stream. I’m sure some Guardians at home are indulging in “Hawkeye” power fantasies. Or “Arrow”, if you prefer DC.

7:46: The demonstration takes place in private matches and they have practically set the respawn timer to 0.

7:48: Important bonus info. Armor also has random rolls and its own mod system. That sounds very good.

destiny-2-bungie-combat-stream-pvp-bow-2

7:50: New Hunter super “Blade Barrage” – For those who like Golden Gun but don’t feel like aiming. That was pretty good.

7:51: Exotic weapons can’t use either random rolls or mods. They are fixed.

Relaxed atmosphere in the stream – changes seem to be well received

7:52: The player has to listen to some remarks from the guys sitting in their chairs saying things like “I would have sunk that one too” or “I could have seen that one coming”.

7:55: The sandbox designers promise that some old exotic armor pieces will have great synergies with the new meta. It’s a relaxed atmosphere in the stream compared to previous designers. Surprisingly little speaking time for DeeJ and a lot of time for designers who seem to have a good understanding of what they are talking about.

7:57: DeeJ says the people in the chat are satisfied with what they see. In the next round, community manager Cosmo plays with 3 shotguns.

PIstol-Claude
Destiny 2 Forsaken new ship

8:01: It seems that the atmosphere at Bungie is a kind of “big boys have fun” club. Hamrick just noted that the pistol from the Twitch overlay is aimed directly at Claude Jerome’s private parts. He then crossed his legs and moved aside. They seem to be in a good mood and are confident that the changes will be well received.

Clear roles in PvP with matching loadouts

8:05 Especially in Gambit, there should be clear roles in PvP that can be better fulfilled with special loadouts than with others. Players can then specialize in a specific task, like Cosmo now with 3 shotguns, going full melee.

8:07: I think I need the super with the giant hammer for my Titan. Sven has fallen in love with the bow. While Micha struggles to accept that DeeJ doesn’t know what a luck pants is (Hunter Exotic).

8:08: Grenades serve as “openers” for fights in Destiny 2. They are not one-shot kills.

Destiny 2 selfie emote

End of August, the systems will come – with Forsaken the content

8:14: At the end of August, a lot of what we are seeing now will come. The changes to the Year 1 weapons and the weapon slots. It will be a strange time when the new systems are there but the content that fits them isn’t yet.

8:15: The stream is slowly winding down after a little over an hour. You can tell that the intensity is decreasing as the second match approaches its end. We will prepare the information that has been provided here on Mein MMO in precise articles.

It definitely looks like Bungie is relaxed and confident that the changes will convince the players. They have implemented much of the feedback from the players and seem to have focused on the desires of the Destiny 1 players and streamers.

Destiny 2 Solstice trailer main

Destiny 2 Forsaken feels significantly “more thought-out” and “rounded” than Destiny

8:22: The changes to the weapon slots, the mods, also upgrading and the random rolls feel significantly more thought-out and reasonable than the systems with which Destiny 2 launched in September 2017. Back then, it was noticeable that much of it simply wasn’t finished and looked like a quick fix.

There is nothing extremely innovative about the new systems, but they seem like solid and well-rounded changes. Critics will first want to play it for a final judgment.

That’s it from us at Mein MMO. We’ll be back tomorrow with our coverage of Destiny 2.

In the meantime, we recommend you this article:

Hearthstone Void Analyst full title

When does Dr. Boom’s Secret Lab start? In Europe, the launch of a new Hearthstone expansion usually takes place in the early evening hours. It should be around 7 PM for us, provided there are no delays.

Please keep in mind that there may be queues in the first hours, as many players want to log into Hearthstone at the same time. It could take a few minutes to achieve that.

What’s new in Dr. Boom’s Lab?

135 new cards: A total of 135 new cards are waiting for players in the new packs. As usual, the packs can be bought for real money, earned gold, or as rewards from the Arena. If you haven’t checked out the new cards yet, you should take a look at them now. We have neatly sorted them in this post:

“Magnetic” and legendary spells. Dr. Boom’s Secret Lab has a new keyword on the cards, namely magnetic. Magnetic cards are always mechs and can connect with another mech that is already on the field. That mech then receives all stats and card texts of the magnetic card, allowing players to create their own super-mech. Additionally, every class has received a legendary spell with a particularly strong effect.

PvE mode not until a few weeks: Every Hearthstone expansion also comes with a single-player mode that presents players with special tasks. In Dr. Boom’s Secret Lab, players have to solve various card puzzles to avoid lethal damage or eliminate the opponent in one turn. However, this PvE mode will only be unlocked in two weeks, so it will be available starting August 22, 2018.

GTA 5 Online gets a flying motorcycle that already annoys players

The After-Hours Update in GTA 5 Online brings new vehicles in the coming weeks. One of them sounds so overpowered that players are questioning Rockstar.

Players complain after leak: The complete content of the After-Hours DLC has not yet been released for all players. This happens gradually. Data miners have taken a closer look at what the community can expect. And many are upset about the results. A flying motorcycle with a rocket defense system is said to be on its way.

Futuristic Motorcycle as a Destroyer of Online Sessions

With missiles: The Oppressor Mk. II is a state-of-the-art flying motorcycle equipped with missiles and a defense system. Data miners from FoxySnaps have already located the vehicle in the code.

Predecessor motorcycle was already annoying: There is already a predecessor to the flying motorcycle shown above in GTA 5 Online. It had already earned a reputation for being frequently used by trolls who would chase and constantly shoot you.

GTA 5 Online Oppressor Flight

New motorcycle even worse? The Oppressor Mk. II is said to be (on the ground) even faster. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with better missiles and explosive machine guns than the predecessor. The rocket defense system on board the vehicle makes it even stronger.

Concern for online sessions: You earn your money in GTA 5 Online through arms dealing, drug trafficking, or other lucrative illegal activities. However, you must play in online mode. Where other players can attack you. With the new Oppressor Mk. II, players fear that online sessions will become even more annoying.

The community is worried: The features of the Oppressor Mk II sound like all the fun would be lost if a troll chases a player online with it. The reactions are clear – players are wondering why Rockstar would even add such a vehicle.

On Reddit, user ChefDJH writes: “Winner of the Griefer Choice Awards 2018”. User Fr0gg0 writes: “Are you kidding? That means forever solo sessions”.

There are also many discussions on Twitter about this topic:

Rockstar confirms Oppressor Mk II

On Twitter, Rockstar has now confirmed that the Oppressor Mk. II will indeed find its way into GTA 5 Online. Reactions to the announcement are mixed.

Some don’t want flying vehicles: One Twitter user clearly speaks out against flying cars and motorcycles. He wants a GTA with biker and nightclub vibes, not Star Wars.

Awaiting release – Maybe not so overpowered

No date known: Now everyone is eagerly waiting for when the Oppressor Mk. 2 finds its way into the online sessions of GTA 5. Perhaps the bike only seemed “overpowered” at first glance and will show itself balanced in the game.

Whether the harsh criticism from some community members is justified remains to be seen.

Until then, you can literally dig up the hatchet in GTA 5 Online. That’s a special weapon that unlocks in GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.

The Battle for Lordaeron is already live in America and there have been several cutscenes shown. Here are the 3 WoW Cinematics from Undercity!

In America, the maintenance of World of Warcraft is over and players already have access to the scenario “Battle for Lordaeron”. The event also features three impressive cutscenes that reveal the outcome of the battle – here you can see how the siege of Undercity goes!

WoW Lordaeron Ending Sylvanas 3

Spoiler warning: The cutscenes reveal the outcome of the battle for Undercity and consequently contain spoilers. You have been warned.

Jaina joins the battle. After the battle in Undercity does not go well, the Alliance is driven back by the plague. At the last moment, Jaina Proudmoore arrives with her ship (yes, it flies through the air!) and cleanses the plague to continue the attack.

Sylvanas resorts to drastic measures. After the battle for Undercity is going poorly and the Alliance continues to advance, Sylvanas locks herself in the throne room and waits for the conquerors of the city. Anduin presents Sylvanas with the choice: She should surrender or die forever.

Sylvanas has, however, prepared a little secret and unleashes the plague throughout Undercity. Lordaeron will be tainted and uninhabitable for a long time.

Defeating Behemoth in Monster Hunter World – Weaknesses and Battle Tips

In this guide to Monster Hunter World, you will get tips on how to defeat the Behemoth. You will learn about the beast’s weaknesses, including which element and status effects are best to fight it. Here you will find the right strategy.

What is special about the Behemoth? The Behemoth brings two unique mechanics to Monster Hunter World: magic and aggro.

Magic: You need to pay special attention to the Behemoth’s spells, as they make the fight harder. You can observe which spell the Behemoth is casting on the right side of the screen and must react accordingly. The Behemoth has four phases, and each new phase is initiated with the spell “Meteor”.

Aggro: This is a mechanic typical in MMORPGs. When the monster has built aggro, it focuses all its attention on one player. Aggro is indicated by a red line between the Behemoth and the player.

  • Note on Status Weakness: Behemoth can be put to sleep and stunned! So prepare barrel bombs.

All Spells of the Behemoth Explained: Learn What Strategy You Need

To win, you must smartly respond to the spells: Simply mindlessly attacking the Elder Dragon won’t help you. You will lose anyway. Each spell requires a specific response from you to survive its attacks.

Keep an eye on the info boxes: Throughout the fight, the spells that the Behemoth will use next will be displayed on the right. You must watch these and plan your next steps every time, and above all, coordinate with your team.

These are the spells:

Meteor

A wide area attack: The Behemoth casts Meteor on random players. A reddish area will then appear around it.

Stay in motion: It is recommended to keep moving and continuously evade the attack.

Summons Comet

The Behemoth summons stones: The spell follows you, and stones/comets will be placed where you walk with your hunter. You can recognize this by a small red area under your feet.

Place the stones where you can reach them: You need the stones as protection to survive the spell “Ecliptic Meteor.” The stones will do you no good at the edge of the battlefield.

Draw the Behemoth away from the stones: The Behemoth will destroy the stones if it gets too close to them. Here you can also use the aggro mechanic to move the Behemoth away from the stones.

Ecliptic Meteor

The mother of all meteors falls from the sky: This is the strongest spell the Behemoth casts. A massive meteor falls from the sky and triggers a gigantic shockwave that can instantly take your life.

Hide: This is where the stones from “Summons Comet” come into play. Hide behind them so that you are not hit by the shockwave.

Monster-Hunter-World-Behemoth1

Thunderstorm

Lightning spells that rain down from above: The Behemoth casts elongated lightning strikes that sporadically hit the ground in a relatively small area.

Watch the sky: If you see that Thunderstorm is announced, tilt your camera slightly upward and step back a bit. This way you can observe where the lightning comes from and evade if necessary.

Carybdis

The Behemoth places wind areas beneath players: When the Behemoth uses Carybdis, it places a wind area under each player.

Stay together: It is advisable to stand close together with the team so that the wind area is contained in one area. If you have too many wind areas, you will have fewer escape routes for the Behemoth’s other attacks.

Lightning capsules when the head is blue: You can interrupt Carybdis if you throw lightning capsules at the Behemoth. This works only when the Behemoth’s head glows blue.

Monster-Hunter-World-Behemoth

Tips: What You Should Also Consider in the Fight with the Beast

The Behemoth is designed for four players: The Behemoth is one of the most difficult monsters in the game and is easiest to fight in a well-coordinated group. However, the emphasis here is on coordination. A headset and communication should be mandatory for this fight.

Use aggro to draw attention to one player: Those who attack the Behemoth’s head will likely draw its aggro (attention) to themselves. This should be done by players who have a defensive build and appropriate weapons. The Gunlance or Sword & Shield would be a good choice here.

While the Behemoth focuses on the defensive player, others can strike him as hard as they can or retreat to heal.

The aggro mechanic can also largely be ignored: You don’t necessarily have to use aggro and therefore do not need a “tank” in the team. The Behemoth can also be defeated if you fight him well-coordinated and master his spells. Moreover, the Behemoth will follow you even without aggro.

These are the stats of the Dragoon armor and weapon in Monster Hunter: World
von Irina Moritz

The Behemoth has three attack patterns for physical damage: 

  • It stands on its hind legs and performs a kind of belly flop that can paralyze you
  • It has a charge attack where it lunges quickly to the side with its shoulder
  • It grabs you with its foreleg and tosses you away

The Behemoth casts a fire area when its head is red: When the Behemoth’s head and eyes glow red, it will cast fire that deals area damage. You should keep your distance from its head.

The Behemoth can be put to sleep: The Behemoth has a weakness of two stars against the sleep status. If you manage to put it to sleep, place your barrel bombs as close to its head as possible. This will also help you break its horns.

Sever the tail as quickly as possible: The Behemoth can deal powerful blows with its tail that really hurt. However, the tail is severable and also contains loot for the Behemoth’s armor.

Bring lightning capsules against the spell “Charybdis”: This is a spell where the Behemoth casts a wind area on players. He uses this spell as soon as his head glows blue. Once the head is blue, throw a lightning capsule at it.

Charles has created a guide for you, highlighting the various spells of the Behemoth. Here you can take a close look at the individual attacks and study them. He also gives an insight into the Dragoon armor that you can farm in the quest.

The Behemoth is hard – Don’t be sad if it doesn’t work right away: The Behemoth is definitely one of the hardest fights in the game, requiring a clever tactic and teamwork. He is difficult for “casual” hunters to master and requires some experience.

Therefore, there’s no reason to be frustrated if it doesn’t work immediately. Many veterans also struggle with the Behemoth.

By the way, there’s a little trick to get the Behemoth’s armor without having to kill him.

WoW Theory: Is Battle for Azeroth just the battle between two Ancient Gods?

A fan theory about World of Warcraft receives a lot of support from players. The real battle is not between Horde and Alliance.

While players in the official World of Warcraft forums tear each other apart over which faction is better or who has done worse things, new lore theories are bubbling up on Reddit. User shadovv93 has an intriguing theory about the “Battle for Azeroth”. According to his theory, it does not actually take place between Horde and Alliance, but rather between Yogg-Saron and N’Zoth.

The endless fight between Yogg-Saron and N’Zoth

WoW Nzoth full artwork

The basic idea behind this theory is the notion that the Old Gods are indeed a common threat, but they do not actually cooperate with each other. This is supported by quotes from the Warcraft Chronicles. The various empires of the Old Gods were always in conflict with each other, as each one wanted to eliminate the others in order to conquer Azeroth for themselves and corrupt the sleeping Titan.

Since both N’Zoth and Yogg-Saron have lost a significant part of their armies, they simply instrumentalize other races as their servants. The theory assumes that Yogg-Saron manipulates the Horde, while N’Zoth claws at the Alliance.

Yogg-Saron is still alive

The Old God Yogg-Saron, whom players seem to have defeated in Ulduar, is also the “God of Death”. That he is not quite dead, as one might think, was shown in the pre-event of Legion. There, players had to accompany Brann and Magni Bronzebeard, along with Khadgar, to Ulduar and were attacked by Saronite creatures.

Hearthstone YoggSaron

Brann explains that he “would feel something that seems familiar to him and he does not like it” – since Brann sensed Yogg-Saron in Ulduar back then and warned the players, this is a clear hint.

The Watcher unit also states: “Not again! The Guardians are making me fill out an incident report again.” – Just like last time when Yogg-Saron became active.

At the same time, an unknown voice whispers: “You are a vassal of unseen powers.”

Yogg-Saron may not be fully energized, but he is alive, active, and continues to try to expand his influence.

Sylvanas – A servant of Yogg-Saron?

WoW Sylvanas Warbringer Screen 9

It can be easily substantiated with indications that Yogg-Saron manipulates the Horde and uses Sylvanas. After all, Sylvanas jumped from Icecrown after the final death of the Lich King Arthas. In the official short story “The Dawn of Night”, it is described how Sylvanas lets herself be impaled on a Saronite spike, so that not only her body but also her soul would be annihilated. Saronite is nothing more than the blood of an Old God – that Sylvanas was corrupted in the process cannot be ruled out.

Further evidence can also be found in the precise wording of certain characters in World of Warcraft. Thus, Sara (an illusion of Yogg-Saron) explains in Ulduar: “Let hatred and rage guide your blows!” (“Let your strikes be guided by hatred and rage!”)

In “Warbringer: Sylvanas”, Delaryn (the dying elf) then asks Sylvanas why she wants to attack the tree. Sylvanas replies, “That is war,” to which Delaryn says, “No. This is hatred, rage.” – “No, this is hatred, rage.” Exactly the two terms by which one is supposed to be guided according to Yogg-Saron.

WoW Sylvanas serves Death

In the comic “The Three Sisters”, Sylvanas explains at the end: “In the end… they will serve death. They will serve me.” Yogg-Saron refers to himself as the God of Death – during the fight players repeatedly hear “Kneel before the God of Death!”

The burning of Teldrassil – An attack on N’Zoth

In the sense of this theory, the attack on Teldrassil and its subsequent destruction by fire is more than just a cruel act. It is a deliberate manipulation of Sylvanas by Yogg-Saron to inflict damage on N’Zoth. The Old God N’Zoth was the most successful in corrupting the Emerald Dream. For him, the World Trees are now places of power from which he can exert more influence.

WoW Saurfang Cinematic title 2

If Yogg-Saron really wanted to eliminate his opponent N’Zoth, burning a World Tree would be an important act.

The Alliance – Manipulated by N’Zoth

But the Alliance has also long been infiltrated by the will of the Old Gods, namely N’Zoth. It is important to know that the boss Il’gynoth from the Emerald Nightmare is a servant of N’Zoth. After all, he explains at his death, “N’Zoth… I travel … to Ny’alotha …”

WoW Legion Nightmare Old God

This also explains why Il’gynoth willingly reveals that the “Young King serves at the Master’s table” and “the Diamond King was made a vassal.” Why would an Old God reveal his own plans? Right, he only does that because it is not his plans – but those of an opponent.

Particularly important here are also the whispers that Alleria hears during the comic “The Three Sisters”. Every now and then, we see that she has voices in her head. She receives whispers as she encounters Sylvanas:

“This one is dangerous. She is a threat and must be destroyed. Beware of her. She seeks the death of all things… all possibilities. End the threat. Kill her. Kill her. Save yourselves and kill her. Save the world and kill her.”

WoW Sylvanas dangerous Comic Quote

The whisper fits perfectly with N’Zoth, who wants to eliminate a servant of Yogg-Saron, namely Sylvanas.

How exactly Anduin and Magni are corrupted in this matter or how it will affect things is yet to be seen. So far, N’Zoth does not need to do much – as the Alliance is already preparing to strike back in Undercity.

According to this theory, the “Battle for Azeroth” is therefore not a conflict between Alliance and Horde. Instead, it is about which of the two Old Gods can ultimately claim Azeroth for themselves and completely corrupt it. Both parties are unaware that they are already being manipulated – and it is only a matter of time before this comes to light and one of the two Old Gods emerges victorious.

Fortnite will not run well on 88% of Android devices, says Epic CEO

Fortnite is indeed coming to Android devices. But only 12 percent of all mobile phones and tablets circulating worldwide will be able to handle the game. This is stated by Epic’s CEO, Tim Sweeney. Which phones will run Fortnite and which Android smartphones will not?

What is the announcement? Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney stated in an interview with Gamesbeat that there are approximately 2.5 billion Android devices in the world. Only about 300 million will run Fortnite “well”.

This means that 88% of the Android devices that exist in the world will not play Fortnite “well”.

Fortnite-Wukong-01

Fortnite Android only for “High-End” devices

What is the reason for that? Sweeney mentions that there is a significant range of devices on Android. From the $30 smartphone that can be bought in India to the $1000 premium phone.

On which phones should Fortnite Android run? Sweeney says Fortnite will run on “High-End” Android devices. By that, he means devices that are up to three years old and have a high-quality GPU.

A specific list of devices that can run Fortnite Android is not provided by Sweeney.

The unofficial list of Android devices that can run Fortnite

Dataminers find supported Android devices: Dataminers (via Xda) have extracted a list of devices that should be able to run Fortnite on Android. This list was found in the code of an Epic Games page for Fortnite Mobile. However, this list is not official.

Two phones from Google can run Fortnite

  • Google Pixel 2
  • Google Pixel 2 XL

Nine devices from Huawei are included:

  • Huawei Mate 10
  • Huawei Mate 10 Lite
  • Huawei Mate 10 Pro
  • Huawei P10
  • Huawei P10 Plus
  • Huawei P10 Lite
  • Huawei P9
  • Huawei P9 Lite
  • Huawei P8 Lite (2017)

Three from LG

  • LG G6
  • LG V30
  • LG V30+

Five devices from Motorola

  • Motorola Moto E4 Plus
  • Motorola Moto G5
  • Motorola Moto G5 Plus
  • Motorola Moto G5s
  • Motorola Moto Z2 Play

Nokia

  • Nokia 6

Razer

Razer Phone

These twelve Samsung devices should be able to run Fortnite

  • Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017)

  • Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime (2017)
  • Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro (2017)
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 8
  • Samsung Galaxy On7 (2016)
  • Samsung Galaxy S9
  • Samsung Galaxy S9+
  • Samsung Galaxy S7
  • Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
  • Samsung Galaxy S8
  • Samsung Galaxy S8+

These are the six devices from Sony

  • Sony Xperia XA1
  • Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra
  • Sony Xperia XA1 Plus
  • Sony Xperia XZ
  • Sony Xperia XZs
  • Sony Xperia XZ1
Fortnite-Skin

No Fortnite in the Google Play Store: It is officially known that there will be Fortnite available only through a direct APK download from the Fortnite site. The game will not appear in the Google Play Store.

No statement yet on Samsung exclusivity deal

No word on the Samsung exclusivity deal: Currently, there are 4 rumors surrounding Samsung and Fortnite. It is said:

  • Fortnite could exclusively appear on Android for 30 days for a €1000 smartphone from Samsung, namely the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
  • A second rumor states: After that, there should be a further exclusivity period for other Samsung smartphones. This will last several months
  • Additionally, Fortnite is supposed to be pre-installed on the Samsung smartphone
  • and there are reportedly 15,000 V-Bucks as a bonus.

There is currently no official statement on any of these rumors.

It could therefore be the case that far more than 88% of the devices will not be able to run Fortnite Android at launch. But that is not clear at the moment.

When will there be exact information about the release on Android? We expect that on August 9, there will be further details on this rumor and the release of Fortnite on Android. Then the event “Samsung Unpacked” will take place.

FIFA 19 FUT gets Champions League cards – that look really good

In FIFA 19 Ultimate Team, there will be Champions League cards for the first time. We will show you what they look like in FUT 19 here.

The Champions League also features in FUT 19: One of the biggest innovations in FIFA 19 is the Champions League license. In recent years, the rights to the highest European cup competition were exclusively with Pro Evolution Soccer. This year, EA Sports was able to secure the license.

This means that the Champions League and the Europa League will be present in almost all modes of FIFA 19, such as in the Career Mode, in The Journey 3 – and also in Ultimate Team.

Champions League in Ultimate Team – Check out the new card design here

What is known so far about the Champions League in FUT 19? According to EA Sports, you can

  • create your desired team from Champions League cards in FUT 19,
  • utilize live content updates for the UEFA Champions League and the Europa League
  • and experience the “Champions League” feeling in FUT 19 as well.

No concrete information is available yet. However, the first images of Champions League cards in FUT 19 have been revealed recently.

Be aware that the ratings on the cards come from FUT 18 and will still change by the release of FIFA 19. However, the card design is already final:

champions-league-karten

EA Sports emphasizes that these cards feature the Champions League branding and are meant to convey the CL atmosphere. They are designed in the blue-purple colors of the Champions League and display the CL logo at the top center.

It is notable that the Champions League cards of Rashford, Ederson, Lewandowski, and Isco differ from each other. The reason they have different designs is unknown to us. Perhaps it relates to the overall rating or the phase when they are released.

The card of Kanté, by the way, is a “Europa League” card. This can be recognized by the Europa League symbol at the top center and the black design with an orange border.

EA Sports released these cards on Twitter, which obviously also display the CL logo:

When and how the Champions League cards will be available in FUT 19 is not known. They are expected to be released in parallel with the “real” Champions League season in FUT 19.

For comparison:

This is what the standard cards in FUT 19 look like:

This is what the icon cards in FUT 19 look like:

Were there really no Champions League cards in FUT 18? Yes, EA was not allowed to mention the term “Champions League” in FUT 18. Instead, there were other cards, namely the “European Team of the Tournaments” cards. They referred to these CL cards with a cumbersome term.

How do you like the “real” Champions League cards in FUT 19?

Bless secretly postpones the release of the Assassin and gets caught

Actually, the new class Assassin and the major PvP update Dominion War were supposed to be released today for Bless Online. But Neowiz quietly changed the release date and fans are wondering why.

Players want new content: The Bless players are eagerly waiting for new content for the game. That’s why some fans were excited when Neowiz announced at the end of July that players can expect the new class Assassin in the second week of August. The Assassin was supposed to appear between August 6th and 12th.

A few days later, Neowiz spoke in more detail about the upcoming update. They even mentioned a release date. On August 7th, players could expect the new content and try out the Assassin.

Neowiz quietly changes the date

Like a ninja: But apparently there are still issues with the update, which is why Neowiz secretly postponed the patch date by one day. The Assassin will now be rolled out on August 8th, 2018. And the fans noticed.

There is confusion: Bless players are wondering why Neowiz simply changed the date without an official announcement. Although it’s only 24 hours, this postponement causes annoyance among fans. Players are still waiting for a statement from Bless regarding the delay.

Some players are generally critical of Bless Online. For exactly these players, the unannounced postponement is a perfect opportunity to accuse Neowiz of unprofessional behavior.

Other players find the postponement not so bad. After all, it’s only 24 hours.

Bless wants to attract new players

Bless is currently cheaper: The new update is also supposed to attract new players. That’s why Neowiz has reduced the price of Bless Online to just under €10. This is the first price reduction since the game’s release in May 2018.

A few players have already announced that they want to revisit Bless. They bought the game at release but then returned it. They want to see how Bless has developed since its release.
