New Update: From today, July 24th, there is a new DLC for the online mode of Grand Theft Auto V. It can be downloaded for free by any player. You will dive into the nightlife of Los Santos, featuring music, DJs, and the familiar face from GTA IV, Gay Tony.

How large is the update? The patch is between 4.3 GB on consoles and 5.3 GB on the PC, depending on the platform.

Are these all the vehicles? No. You can find more vehicles of the DLC on the linked Twitter account.
When will the vehicles be available? It is still unclear whether all the leaked vehicles will be available in the game from the start or will be unlocked gradually over the coming weeks.
The nightclubs are the focus of the DLC. As you already know from the CEO building or the biker business, the new buildings cost a lot of money. The new nightclubs are priced between 1,080,000 GTA$ and 1,700,000 GTA$.
We will update this article for you as soon as new information becomes available.
Fortnite (PC, PS4, iOS, Switch & Xbox One) has received the new Patch 5.1. What is included in the update can be found in the German patch notes here. It is a huge update for the 1st birthday.
Major patch for the 1st birthday: Fortnite is celebrating its first birthday today, and the associated Patch 5.10 is impressive. Here you can find all the highlights of the patch notes for Update 5.10.
New features in Battle Royale from Patch 5.10
Everything is changing in Fortnite’s PvP mode:
You can find and eat cake. They provide 5 health and shield each.
There are birthday challenges. Anyone who completes three will receive a new emote, spray design, and back bling.
Supply drops now have different loot distribution. You will find many more assault rifles, fewer sniper rifles, and no more pistols. The new SMG is, by the way, present in 14.58 percent of chests. Additionally, you will find no more damage traps, but more launch pads and campfires. The Slurp Juice is also included twice as often. There will be no more Cozy Campfires in the chests, and all materials will have a 33 percent chance of appearing.
The health of stone and wood walls has been reduced, while metal walls will be harder.
You can now sprint by default.
Newly built structures now appear in a different color as long as players are standing in them.
The gyroscope controls on Nintendo Switch now rotate around the longitudinal axis instead of the yaw axis.
Bullets from sniper rifles no longer stop when they pass through certain trigger zones (e.g., from traps).
Players no longer fall through the ground or get pushed through walls when placing or editing buildings.
If you purchased the Founder Pack, you will receive these two skins for Battle Royale with 5.10!
New features in Save the World from Patch 5.10
Everything is changing in Fortnite’s PvE mode:
The story continues in the Bru-Tal region. All players with access to Bru-Tal and Twine Peaks can take on the new storyline. The old Bru-Tal missions are still available and have been converted into a series of optional side missions.
Duplicate avoidance for Llamas: You now receive items that you do not already have. This change applies to epic, legendary, and mythic schematics and heroes.
The quest log has been adjusted for Twine Peaks: You can now transition directly from a Storm Shield Defense to the next while unlocking new areas without having to complete the quests in between. There are also new quests.
There are new quests for the Fortnite birthday: Find birthday cakes and eat cake pieces to earn event tickets. Additionally, eliminate the new “Cake Kaboomers” to unlock a birthday hero.
A new system for activating missions and voting has been implemented. It can now be used in the missions “Data Recovery” and “Ride the Lightning”. The new system replaces the difficulty pylon on the map and allows you to start missions at the mission location and increase the difficulty.
There are new heroes: Birthday Brigade Ramirez – a legendary variant of the soldier hero – can be unlocked through the limited-time birthday quest.
The new Mythic Constructor Steel-Wool-Syd has been added to Act 1 of the Bru-Tal quest line.
The soldier House Fighter Sledgehammer will be available in the event shop starting July 26.
There are 25 free inventory slots as a birthday gift
Faulty tooltips have been adjusted
A new enemy, the Shockshell, has been added. It shoots rays at you.
There are birthday llamas in the shop that contain loot from previous events
The amount of gold has been doubled for all reward tiers of the Horde Challenge
The resource for advantage distorters has been increased by 50% for all reward tiers of the Horde Challenge
A new hotfix for patch 8.0 in World of Warcraft turns powerful raid bosses into minced meat. Especially in Antorus, they are being nerfed.
In World of Warcraft, not everything is running smoothly yet. Many enemies deal too much damage after patch 8.0, making some bosses in Azeroth nearly unbeatable. To ensure that the great adversaries return to their intended strength, a hotfix has arrived that should ensure fair fights, especially in the raid “Antorus, the Burning Throne”. The abilities of the bosses have been weakened by up to 75%!
The bosses in Antorus have been nerfed
Here are the changes to the various bosses from Antorus, the Burning Throne – the last raid of WoW: Legion.
Hounds of Sargeras
Incinerate deals 75% less damage
Eonar
Strike deals 60% less damage.
The health points of almost all demonic attackers have been reduced.
The Antoran Command
The damage from Psychic Assault now increases more slowly.
Portal Keeper Hasabel
Imps have 30% less health points.
Imonar
Impulse Grenade deals 30% less damage.
Stasis Trap deals 30% less damage.
The Circle of Shivarra
Shadow Blades deal 50% less damage.
Aggramar
Wave of Flames deals 20% less damage.
Nerfs were necessary. Even though the numbers of the nerfs may sound like one could now stroll through Antorus in a leisurely manner and naked, this is misleading. Due to the many changes from patch 8.0, such as the stat squish and the removal of artifact weapons, the bosses have been too hard so far. Some fights were only manageable with luck, others nearly impossible. Now, at least all encounters from Antorus should be “doable” again.
Many bugs fixed. Aside from that, the hotfix has fixed many more minor bugs, such as unsolvable quests or further adjustments to damage numbers in old dungeons. Generally, every instance should now be completable again – at least that is the idea. But there will surely be another patch in the coming days.
We will apply the hotfix tonight (07/24/2018), but individual aspects might already be active.
What do you think of the nerfs and changes to the bosses of Antorus? Was it necessary or did your guild continue to have no problems?
Today is the day: The No Man’s Sky NEXT release is approaching. The game will receive the highly anticipated update on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, which introduces “real” multiplayer among other features. But when does it start?
The Next update for No Man’s Sky comes – All about the launch and download
When does the download start on Xbox One and PC? According to the Microsoft Store and No Man’s Sky Reddit, the NEXT update will be available starting from 3 PM this afternoon. From this date, the game will also be available for download on Xbox One through the Microsoft Store. However, the boxed version will only be available starting July 26.
Download on PS4 – Sony fans will have to wait a bit longer: Those playing on PS4 will have to be a little more patient. The update event is supposed to start on Sony’s console at 6 PM.
Pokémon GO is enhanced by Lucky Pokémon. Niantic explains how the chances of encountering these special monsters increase and why gifts are now even more worthwhile.
What are Lucky Pokémon? The “Lucky Pokémon” were discovered just a few days ago in a data mine of the new patch 0.111.2. They are special Pokémon whose power-up costs are significantly reduced.
What does this mean for you? If you receive a Lucky Pokémon, you will find it easier to increase its CP and save Stardust. This makes it easier for you to acquire strong fighters in your collection with which you can win raids.
Update brings Lucky Pokémon
The new Pokémon GO update 1.81.3 introduces the feature for Lucky Pokémon. It states:
“When Pokémon are traded, there is a chance that both traded Pokémon will become Lucky Pokémon.” The Pokémon team writes in the blog that Professor Willow has made an important discovery: Lucky Pokémon.
Reduced costs: If you want to power up a Lucky Pokémon, you will need to spend less Stardust. According to initial reports from data miners, the reduction is around 50%.
You can find them in the PokéDex: To help you keep track of these special monsters, you can filter them in the PokéDex.
How the chances of getting a Lucky Pokémon increase: According to Niantic, the chances of receiving a Lucky Pokémon after a trade increase if the Pokémon has spent a long time in the trainer’s box. However, the exact origin of this Lucky trait is unknown.
Is the feature active yet? Since the evening of July 25th, you can find Lucky Pokémon in Pokémon GO.
Improved gifts in Pokémon GO
With the introduction of Lucky Pokémon to Pokémon GO, the gifts that friends can send to each other will also be improved.
What’s new about the gifts? According to Niantic, there will be new, special surprises to be found in the gifts. When you send a gift to friends, you now earn experience points. Stardust is now also included in the contents of the gifts.
In advance of the upcoming Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2, Bungie has now granted another exclusive look at the upcoming content. This time there is a guided tour of a Gambit map with developer commentary.
The flood of information about Forsaken continues: In the latest post from Game Informer, which exclusively covers the upcoming Forsaken addon for a month, Bungie now guides fans through the “Legion’s Folly” map of the new Gambit mode.
In doing so, the responsible world artists Coolie Calihan and Todd Juno provide insight into the creation and architecture of the map with their accompanying commentary.
What is Gambit? Gambit is a new mode that embodies a mix of cooperative PvE battles and PvP elements and will be introduced with Forsaken in Destiny 2.
Here’s the video: Since it’s exclusive video material from Game Informer, we unfortunately cannot embed the video ourselves. To watch the video in full length, just follow this link:
Bethesda has announced that you can take a look at the online game Fallout 76 for the first time as part of the beta in October. A pre-order of Fallout 76 is necessary to get into the beta.
Autumn is Fallout 76 Beta Time
Many fans of the Fallout series are looking forward to Fallout 76 because it is the first game in the series to focus on multiplayer. This has already led to some controversial discussions and a lot of criticism, which is why the developers continually try to appease the fans. With the upcoming beta, we will get a first glimpse of the game and see how it plays out.
Loot from dead players is not available in Fallout 76.
All about the Fallout 76 Beta – Start and Registration
When does the beta start? Bethesda stated that the beta will start in October. However, a specific day has not yet been announced.
How to participate. To participate in the beta, you must meet certain requirements:
You must pre-order the game from selected retailers. These include Gamestop, Best Buy, Target, Amazon, Walmart, and Bethesda.net
Look for the redemption code, which you will then enter on the Bethesda.net website – Warning! You need an account on the site!
You will receive an email with access details shortly before the beta starts if you were selected
The beta starts small. At the beginning of the Fallout 76 beta, not all players who signed up will be allowed in. Bethesda wants to start with a small group and then gradually allow more players. However, anyone who pre-orders from one of the selected retailers will receive access.
What does the beta offer? The beta should already provide a very good impression of the game, which is set to release on November 14. Therefore, it can be expected that all gameplay systems will be testable. However, Bethesda indicates that much is still in flux, so they cannot yet discuss specifics.
When the beta starts, we should see how Fallout 76 plays and whether the concerns of some players are confirmed.
In WoW: Battle for Azeroth, there are great opportunities to change your appearance with transmogification. Clever players have come across a mace-fish with very interesting properties.
Fish Mace in BfA: Some clever players discovered a few funny items while playing the BfA beta. One of them is the “Foul Stink Smasher”, a mace with intellect and stamina, item level 325 – and with the appearance of a fish.
Fill your enemies with stink
The Foul Stink Smasher has rather mediocre to poor stats with 548 intellect, 141 stamina, 45 critical strike value, and 47 mastery. You can receive the Foul Stink Smasher as a random world drop and it is soulbound on equip – so tradeable.
However, the fish is currently popular among some players for other reasons: it has a unique appearance and fish physics.
Slap instead of clubbing: When you have equipped the Foul Stink Smasher as a weapon, you literally have a huge fish in your hand that you smack your opponents with. Although classified as a mace, the fish does not move statically like a club.
The Foul Stink Smasher has special animations upon hitting, giving it dynamic physics. When you strike, the fish in your hand moves as if you were actually slamming a dead sea creature against your enemy.

More style than utility: The community celebrates the fish’s appearance and physics. The Foul Stink Smasher not only has a unique skin but also has green stink clouds around it that cover your opponents.
For the community, that is already enough reason to immediately throw out transmog ideas. Wowhead even lists 3 transmog sets that are based around the Foul Stink Smasher:
What do you think of the fish? Will you also consider a transmog with the Foul Stink Smasher or does the idea stink for you? Let us know in the comments!
In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, Switch, iOS & Xbox One) you will receive gifts today. Fortnite is celebrating its 1st birthday and all PvE players with the Founder’s Pack will finally receive two long-awaited skins for Battle Royale.
What are the Founder Skins? When Battle Royale launched at the end of 2017, buyers of the PvE version received special skins for the new mode. However, those were only gliders. Fans have been waiting for months for the two promised skin outfits to be added to the game:
Rose Team Leader
Warpaint
What is special about these skins: Battle Royale players have been waiting for almost a year for these two skins. However, there has been no news for months. Until now!
The new skins are coming in update 5.10
New outfits for the birthday: The wait for the desired missing Founder skins has now come to an end. Today, on July 24, 2018, is not only the birthday of the original PvE Fortnite. Today, patch 5.10 is also released, which means fans of Fortnite: Battle Royale will get something, too.
Only for Founders: When the patch goes live today around noon our time and is successfully implemented on the servers, some of you should have the new skins. Unfortunately, the goodies are not available for everyone. According to Epic, the outfits are only available for holders of a Founder’s Pack.
Can you still buy the Founder Packs? The Founder Packs are still available on Epic’s website, and they are currently 50 percent cheaper, which is worth it alone for the V-Bucks for all PvP fans. It is currently unknown if the two skins will still be available after the patch date if you purchase the Founder Pack later.
This is what the new skins look like
Are the new skins worth it? The two exclusive skins are quite subtle by Fortnite standards.
Rose Team Leader is a variant of the known soldier, just with a pink cap and accessories.
Warpaint on the other hand, with his bandana and skull face paint, resembles Reaper from Overwatch a bit.
Both skins are considered legendary. Since not every player will have them, they will certainly be among the more coveted skins.
New cards for Hearthstone have been revealed. The crazy Dr. Boom is bringing another huge dose of RNG, but has great effects!
The next Hearthstone expansion, Dr. Boom’s Lab, will be released on August 7, 2018. Blizzard is already releasing new cards day by day so that players can prepare for new decks. Recently, some new highlights have been introduced that we want to show you here, including the main attraction of the expansion: the mad genius Dr. Boom.
Priests receive the new minion Sinister Researcher. For 5 mana, it has solid stats of 4/6 and a devastating effect. All of the player’s minions with Deathrattle cost 3 less mana. However, they die at the end of the turn. This can trigger great effects and hatch dinosaur eggs for 0 mana.
As a neutral minion, there is the Weaponized Pita. It costs 4 mana, only has stats of 4/3, but has an exciting Deathrattle: the player gets a random legendary minion in hand.
Warlocks receive the Omega Agent. A minion for 5 mana with stats of 4/5. If you already have 10 mana crystals when playing the Agent, it summons two more copies of itself. This equals stats of 12/15 for 5 mana. Insane.
Rogues can once again clone a lot of minions. The Labor Recruiter is a 3/2 minion for 2 mana, which as a Battlecry shuffles 3 copies of a friendly minion into your own deck.
Paladins can look forward to the legendary spell Kangor’s Endless Army. For 7 mana, this card summons 3 friendly mechs that died in this round. They retain their magnetic upgrades.
The true boss is, however, Mad Genius Dr. Boom, a new hero card for the Warrior. It costs 7 mana and gives the Warrior 7 armor. As an additional effect, all of the Warrior’s mechs have Charge for the rest of the game. A lot of RNG awaits in Dr. Boom’s hero power, as it turns into “Big Red Button”. This changes every turn, already on the opponent’s turn. There are 5 different effects for 2 mana:
Today, on 24.07.2018, the Fortnite servers will go offline for the 5.1 update and the birthday celebration of the game on all platforms (PC / Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, iOS). When will the servers be down? When can you start playing again? One thing is for sure: This week will offer you a lot!
Fortnite has a birthday: Today, on 24.07., Fortnite turns one year old. A good reason for Epic to celebrate this date. Before you can put on your party hats and start the conga line, you’ll first have to endure some maintenance.
The update promises to be fantastic – look forward to the return of a popular game mode, the new super weapon P90, and an improved Slurp Juice. “Save the World” players will also get their share!
Fortnite servers go offline – When will they be back online?
When does the server downtime start? Around 9:30 AM German time, the player search will be disabled. At 10:00 AM, the Fortnite servers will then be shut down.

When will the Fortnite servers be back online? Given the many contents that are supposed to come with the 5.1 update, you should plan for a bit more time this week. Not only will the Creative Mode return, but also other content will need to be patched into the game.
Between 12 PM and 2 PM, the maintenance work should be completed. When that will be, and what the patch notes will contain for you, you will find out as usual at Mein MMO.
What’s included in the update for Fortnite: Battle Royale: There will definitely be a lot to do and discover. Battle Royale players can look forward to the following content:
The Creative Mode will return improved (unlock on 25.07.)
In the lead-up to Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard is once again releasing a series of cinematics to advance the story of World of Warcraft. First, Blizzard has started with the video “Warbringer: Jaina.” Here you can watch the short cinematic:
In the video, we see Jaina Proudmoore on a small boat at sea. She is singing a folk song from Kul Tiras, her former homeland. There she is infamous as “the Daughter of the Sea,” who let her father die.

This goes back to the campaign of Warcraft 3. There, Daelin Proudmoore, Jaina’s father, wanted to annihilate the Orcs. However, Jaina had formed a peaceful pact with the Orcs. When it came time for the decisive battle, she let the Orcs pass, directly exposing her father to death.
Since then, Jaina is hated in Kul Tiras and her mother is also not on good terms with her, who now governs Kul Tiras.
The cinematic ends with Jaina lifting her father’s ship out of the sea and making a decision: this time she will stand by the humans and fight against the Horde.
Cortyn says: Chills throughout the whole video! I can only hope that the videos for Azshara and Sylvanas are similarly impressive, because then Blizzard should be able to raise the hype for Battle for Azeroth even further. Overall, I really like Jaina’s development – instead of simply going crazy, she becomes determined and strong. A nice change in the Warcraft universe. This is also another example where the German version of the cinematic was brilliantly translated.
What do you think of the cinematic and these animated short films in general? Do you like that the plot is advanced this way and more is revealed about the characters?
Tomorrow, on July 24, the major multiplayer update for the online game No Man‘s Sky will be released. But what comes next? According to the developer, with weekly and free updates.
Take on new challenges every week
Free updates are coming. Once NEXT has been installed, Hello Games intends to release another small update for the online game every week. These patches will be free and will bring new content.
The community is the focus of the upcoming updates. These patches will feature something special. Every month, the developers want to present you with an interesting challenge. The community will no longer have to come up with content themselves, but can focus on the things the developers introduce with the patches.
These challenges will always lead you to specific locations in the galaxy. There, the new multiplayer aspect of the game will come into play. You will need to team up with other players to successfully complete the tasks.
This is how the weekly challenges in No Man’s Sky will work
The Galactic Atlas will lead you to the target. With the weekly updates, the Galactic Atlas will also come as a new feature in the game. You will find it on a special website, and it will always guide you to the next challenges. Additionally, you will receive a glyph address for the warp portals to teleport you close to the target.
Moreover, players can mark their own interesting locations on the Atlas for others to visit. A leaderboard is also included, which honors those who excel in completing the challenges.
Rewards await. Completing a weekly challenge will earn you rewards. What these are has not yet been revealed. Hello Games, however, states that no microtransactions or loot boxes are planned. The updates and the rewards for No Man’s Sky are free.

In the superhero game DC Universe Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS3), new content is on the way. In line with the upcoming Aquaman movie, a new zone featuring Atlantis and a wealth of Aquaman content is planned.
Who is Aquaman? Those familiar with the DC hero Aquaman know that he is the king of the underwater world of Atlantis and controls water beings. And as in the upcoming movie in December, Aquaman must also deal with various troubles in the game DC Universe Online, as his claim to the throne is not as stable as he would like.
Atlantis as a new zone
A new underwater world: The major new update for DC Universe Online is coming in November 2018. It will finally take you to Atlantis, the homeland of Aquaman. Things are brewing there, and Aquaman has problems with rebels from the Deluge Conspirators.
This is all coming to Atlantis:
Large episode and events
New and familiar heroes and villains, including Aquaman, Mera, Aqualad, Ocean Master, Corum Rath, and Murk
New stories for solo and multiplayer
New rewards, such as gear, styles, base items, and feats.
The Atlantis update is set to arrive in November 2018, just before the release of the Aquaman movie in December. The film is scheduled to premiere in German cinemas on December 20.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One), the Slurp Juice has not been very powerful so far. That is set to change with an upcoming buff! Players will love sipping the juice in 5.1.
What is Slurp Juice? In Fortnite, there are various items that replenish your health or give you a shield. However, only two items, the legendary Chug Jug and the epic Slurp Juice, provide you with both.
Why doesn’t the juice rock? While the Chug Jug instantly fills health and shield to maximum, the Slurp Juice was just a rather weak heal over time. You received one point of health and shields over the next 25 seconds. If one of those was already full, the additional healing would be wasted.
That’s nice, but no reason to carry the juice around. When found, it was quickly dumped, but no one got really excited about the Slurp Juice.
That is likely to change soon.
More Slurp in the juice
The community has an idea: Players have long found the rather weak Slurp Juice annoying. They therefore quickly published a constructive suggestion for change on Reddit.
The fans’ idea: The juice should still regenerate a total of 50 points. But it should start with health, and all excess should go to shields. In an example, a player had 0 shield and 80 health. If he were to sip the juice, he would end up with 100 health and 30 shields.
Powerful Slurp Juice coming in the next patch
Developers find the idea great: This idea for “Slurp Juice 2.0” was well received by the developers. They showed immediate interest. Later, lead designer Eric Williamson joined in and promised that the new juice would come in the upcoming update 5.10.
Slurp Juice will get even juicier: Epic is even going a step further and wants to make the new Slurp Juice even more powerful. It should heal a total of 75 points and grant two points every second. In this form, the juicy drink should certainly find more friends and a place in every inventory.
When is the Super Juice coming? It is set to arrive with the next patch 5.1. Perhaps already on Tuesday, at the latest during the week.
New raid challenges in prestige difficulty? Doesn’t matter. Farming the faction rally again? Boring. Everything was set for a dull summer until the big Destiny 2 expansion Forsaken. Until a new quest was discovered that reunited Guardians both in and out of the game. An important event, believes our author Robert.
A puzzle community without puzzles: Who among you knows the Destiny subreddit “Raidsecrets”? It was originally created to find the legendary sixth chest in the Destiny raid “Vault of Glass”.
The enthusiasts of this community failed in their search. However, the subreddit remained active and played a significant role in deciphering the outbreak prime, which was linked to one of the toughest puzzles Destiny has ever seen.
This weapon might be considered the hardest to obtain in Destiny: The Outbreak Prime!
While there was much to discover in the belly of the Leviathan, the raid location in Destiny 2, a true puzzle atmosphere just wouldn’t come to life. However, that didn’t stop the Guardians of Raidsecrets from turning over every stone and searching for new clues – so far in vain.
As so often, chance came to their aid and reignited the enthusiasm of many Guardians.
How chance led to the Whisper of the Worm
The new prestige raid challenge of the Leviathan raid was quickly mastered, the first group only needed 20 minutes. The new faction rally couldn’t create the right atmosphere either. Farming lost sectors is just too monotonous.
The news spread like wildfire, as evidenced by the countless group requests in various communities. The fire was reignited, and the community finally worked together again to solve the puzzle.
Jump puzzle, tough opponents, time limit – finally sweating again!
High difficulty brings new excitement: No question, the mission is incredibly hard. A lengthy jump puzzle, tough opponents, and a time limit of 20 minutes provide the long-needed adrenaline rushes.
Anyone who wants not only the sniper but also the masterwork catalyst has to complete the mission at power level 400 once more. Although a shortcut through the jumping section has been discovered and the mission has been personally completed solo by Slayerage – many Guardians are still trying to obtain the best sniper rifle in the game.
Why the Whisper of the Worm is not the Black Spindle
The Black Spindle in a new form: The Black Spindle was considered the ultimate sniper rifle upon the release of the Crota raid. The triumvirate of Fatebringer, Black Spindle, and Gjallarhorn still brings tears of joy to some Guardians today.
The “Legend”: The Black Spindle!
The special perk “white nail” ensured that after three critical hits, the magazine would be refilled out of nowhere. The weapon was later nerfed, and an exotic variant named Black Spindle was introduced via quest. However, the Spindle could never recapture its former glory from the old Crota times.
Bungie bringing back the original variant is a clever move. The Whisper of the Worm is surely gonna help many Guardians through the summer drought. How strong the weapon actually is, has already been experienced by the raid boss Calus himself. Demonstrations of strength are sure to increase in the coming weeks.
Has suffered greatly under the Whisper: Raid boss Calus
If the Whisper of the Worm had come in the “Spindle” version, it would have attracted significantly fewer Guardians.
Despite recycling and time gating – a stir is going through the community
Admittedly, the return of the Black Spindle is further evidence of the recycling that Bungie is doing. More and more weapons from the predecessor are making their way to Destiny 2. Also, the fact that the quest was evidently activated by Bungie and is only available for a limited time rubs many Guardians the wrong way.
The unity in the Destiny community remains strong: Aside from these criticisms, a clear shift in mood can be observed. Bungie is receiving a lot of praise for the quest and for bringing the Black Spindle back in its original form.
There it is!
Players are actively searching in the communities for groups to tackle the not-so-easy challenge; it feels like the searches for groups for other activities have also increased.
According to the Guardians, the Whisper of the Worm shouldn’t be the end: They desire more puzzles, more super weapons that can be earned in this manner. Forsaken is still a few weeks away. There was a great hand cannon in Destiny that turned enemies into giant Arc explosions with critical hits. Bungie, please?
What do you think of the new sniper rifle? Would you like to see more quests like this to earn great weapons?
In Warframe, you will soon be able to catch animals on the open-world map of Venus. The developers have now revealed the first concept art of the creatures which you can view here.
Warframe gets a “Pokémon” feature: With the update Fortuna, there will be a new, large open-world map on Venus: Orb Vallis. Here, you will encounter animals that you can catch. They are endangered, as the Corpus faction exploits them for experiments. To save them, you must capture them and transport them to a safe location.
The animals seem to be diverse: The developers at Digital Extremes presented the first images of the animals. The creatures have adapted to the snowy landscape and cold of Venus. The images show that we can expect cute, small furry creatures and others that look more like mutated monsters.
Snow Critter – With a Cute Nose
This creature is a mix of marten, shrew, and anteater. It features fluffy fur, a bushy tail, and a long nose with bristly hairs on it.
Unnamed – A Rocky Armadillo?
In the upper right corner of the image, there is a description. This animal is said to have scaly, wooden-textured skin and pink fur on its belly. It appears to be able to curl up like a hedgehog or armadillo to protect itself.
Snow Predator – A Beaver with Dental Problems
This animal has the jaw and teeth of a beaver. The teeth have grown so long that they have broken through its head and continue to grow there. Predator means that it is a carnivore in the animal world. Its fur and stature resemble that of a seal, which is an adaptation to the cold. The Corpus have disrupted the ecosystem on Venus. The overgrown teeth could be a result of that.
Unnamed and without description
This creature appears almost mutated and seems to have a thick, armored skin.
New Info on the Lure: The “Echolure” Can Receive Upgrades
To catch animals, you must find and lure them: On Venus, you will find various traces of the animals such as droppings or footprints. You must track the scent and locate them. Once you find the animals, you need to lure them with a type of lure. The lure mimics the calls of the animals and is called “Echolure” in English.
Echolure can be modified: Digital Extremes revealed that you can equip the lures with upgrades. These are necessary to implement different calls of the animals. How and where players can obtain the mods is still unknown.
Base Tone Mimics a Moose: Digital Extremes is based in Canada, where moose are primarily found. The first tone of the lure is in honor of the developers’ homeland.
Here we see the Virmink, a dog-weasel. When you catch an animal, you will receive information such as name, age, and gender. Afterwards, the animals will be teleported to a safe location.
What do you think of the concept art? Do you like the direction the animals are taking, or would you prefer something completely different from what has been shown here?
There were also new details about the combat ships:
The trading function in Pokémon GO costs both trainers Stardust. Only with a higher friendship level will it become cheaper. Here are the details.
What’s new? The announcement of the trading and friends feature in Pokémon GO surprised many trainers out of the blue by Niantic. Now trainers are wondering how it works exactly.
Every player has their unique trainer code. Other players need this if they want to add you as a friend. Once connected, you can see the in-game activities of other players in your friends list.
In this article, we explain the individual new features step by step.
The different friendship levels in Pokémon GO
Once you have established a friendship in Pokémon GO, you can reach certain friendship levels with the players:
Good Friend
Great Friend
Ultra Friend
Best Friend
What do these levels bring? By reaching these different ranks, you will receive bonuses in the game. This includes more attack damage in raids and more Premier Balls. You can have a maximum of 200 friends on your friends list. This could increase in the future.
Rewards:
Good Friends can trade all Pokémon (except Mystical)
Great Friends trade with reduced Stardust costs, have more attack power in raids, and receive one additional Premier Ball in raids
Ultra Friends pay even less Stardust for trading, have even more attack power in raids, and receive 2 additional Premier Balls
Best Friends enjoy the highest Stardust discount when trading, gain the most attack power in raids, and get 4 additional Premier Balls
These bonuses are not stackable! So if you are in a raid group with your Best Friend and an Ultra Friend, there are not a total of 6 additional Premier Balls. Only the bonuses of the friend with the highest friendship level count. In the example, that would be just the Best Friend’s. You would then receive only 4 additional Premier Balls, not 6.
How to increase your friendship level in Pokémon GO
Actions in the game improve the status: There are various ways to raise the friendship level with another trainer. You can trade Pokémon, send gifts, or battle together in Gyms or participate in raids.
How often can the friendship status be increased? You can improve friendship once per day for each friend.
What are the requirements for friendship ranks?
Good Friends: 1 day
Great Friends: 7 days
Ultra Friends: 30 days
Best Friends: 90 days
During this time, you must play or interact together to level up.
Costs for both players! Anyone wanting to trade in Pokémon GO must pay Stardust and have reached at least level 10. This applies to both sides of the trade. As previously explained, the costs decrease depending on the friendship level.
Special trade for special Pokémon: Special rules apply to Legendary, Shiny, Regional Pokémon, Pokémon that are not in your Pokédex, and new forms. These require a special trade. This special trade is only available to players who are at least Great Friends.
Some Pokémon need a special trade. This is only possible once per day.
How much does trading cost? The cost for trading a Legendary Pokémon is 1,000,000 Stardust. If the players are Best Friends, the cost is only 40,000 Stardust.
To trade, you must be within 100 meters of the trading partner.
Candy rewards for distance: Trainers receive Candy as a reward for trading the respective Pokémon. These bonuses depend on how far apart the catch locations of the two Pokémon are. The further apart they are, the higher the reward. The highest reward is for a distance of 100 kilometers – There is currently no larger limit.
Change of IV values. This news is likely to please trainers who are skeptical of the system. The HP and CP values of Pokémon will be recalculated when traded. Therefore, you cannot specifically offer 100%-IV Pokémon for trade, as you can never be sure what the IV will be after the trade.
The changed IV values after a trade.
How the IV values change depends on your friendship level. Best Friends have a much higher chance of receiving a strong Pokémon in trade.
Gifts in Pokémon GO – The Alola Eggs
You can frequently receive gifts by spinning Photo Discs. These gifts contain rare items and also a postcard from the corresponding PokéStop where you received the gift.
These gifts can only be opened by your friends when you send them. With a bit of luck, they may also find an Alola Egg in there. This is a new egg category that requires you to walk 7km. From this, a Pokémon in its Alola form will hatch.

Fortnite is getting generous and will be less stingy with loot in the future. With the update 5.1, many things in “Save the World” will be more generous. The Llamas will contain fewer duplicate items. For two weeks, you also have a good chance of grabbing missed items. Because Fortnite is celebrating its 1st birthday.
What’s in the next patch? The new patch should probably come on Tuesday. For “Fortnite: Battle Royale”, it will bring a new legendary submachine gun. However, we want to see what changes in Save the World, and here patch 5.1 is attractive:
After a year, Epic is finally adding the campaign for the 3rd area “Bru-Tal”, at least the first third
The rewards for the current Horde mode are being increased
There will also be a special birthday Llama for two weeks
and Llamas will be significantly more generous overall
The campaign abruptly ends with the second zone, and only missions without a story are offered. Starting with 5.1, a part of the story will be added, and the zone will receive a new biome. A lot is likely to change.

How will the Horde mode become more attractive? The somewhat cumbersome and exhausting Horde mode should become more rewarding in the future. Epic is doubling the gold available there. And they are slashing 50% off the Flux. This is the fuel for the Advantage Winder in Fortnite “Save the World.”
In the Horde mode, the Event Quest for “Roadtrip” is currently taking place, as they likely want to attract more players. Normally, players complete their Event Quests in the “normal missions”, which also count towards the campaign’s progress.
For two weeks, there’s a Llama
What’s in the Birthday Llama? There will be items from the previous seasonal Llamas. So it will be a super chance to get items that you missed in the last year – like Halloween heroes. The celebrations for Fortnite’s 1st birthday will last for two weeks.
How will Llamas become more profitable overall? Epic wants to reduce the “duplicate items”. Everything that is epic (purple), legendary (orange), or mythical (gold) should no longer be obtained in duplicates. This includes everything that players own or have in their collection. From now on, all Llamas will work this way.
PVE founders receive these skins in Fortnite Battle Royale
Founders get two skins: For founders in Save the World, Epic is also adding these two outfits to Fortnite Battle Royale. It’s unusual for PvE players to receive something nice in PvP. Epic had promised these skins to the founders a long time ago.
When is the patch coming? It could come as early as tomorrow afternoon. At the latest, it should arrive by Thursday afternoon. At least that’s what experience suggests.
The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One) has a heart for PvP fans. In the event “Midyear Mayhem” there are double bonuses and additional rewards for PvP lovers in Cyrodiil and the Imperial City. This makes slaying other players truly worthwhile.
Mayhem in Summer: Every year in summer, the event “Midyear Mayhem” takes place in The Elder Scrolls Online. It aims to rekindle open PvP in the Imperial City and Cyrodiil. During this time, you can earn double points and additional rewards, including a special laurel wreath.
This is how the big PvP event works
When does it take place? Midyear Mayhem starts on July 26, 2018, at 4:00 PM. The event ends again on August 6, 2018, at 4:00 PM our time.
This outfit is available in the shop until July 30.
How can I participate? Visit the Crown Shop in-game and get a ticket called “Details on Midyear Mayhem,” which you can then use immediately. Then travel to your faction outpost in Cyrodiil and talk to the priestess Maera. She will give you a quest relevant to the event. Complete this task, and you will receive a scroll.
More points and extra PvP loot in the event
What can you earn? If you use the scroll from the event quest (or have another one from last year), you can earn double points in open PvP in the Alliance War. Additionally, there are two extra PvP campaigns for the event, so you will definitely get a chance. Regular PvP quests will also give you special chests as bonus loot, which can contain special items – including Akaviri-style items.
Achievements for Laurels: Additionally, there is a special item that you only receive if you complete seven PvP achievements during the event. This is the “Midyear Laurel Wreath,” a trophy that you can only get during Midyear Mayhem. However, for these achievements, you will also need the DLC “Imperial City,” as you are expected to complete tasks in the Imperial City.
