Ninja is the number 1 on Twitch with 10 million followers – Thanks to Fortnite

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins was the first to break the 10 million follower mark on Twitch. He is one of the big winners of the huge hype surrounding Fortnite.

Who is Ninja? Tyler Blevins is 27 years old. He was already a professional player at the age of 18, back then for Halo 3. He started streaming in 2011, at a time when Twitch was still called “Justin TV”.

Ninja witnessed the rise of the “Battle Royale” genre, which is considered particularly favorable for streamers and viewers because there is always something happening:

  • Ninja started with H1Z1 when it went into early access in early 2015
  • Then moved to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds when it launched in March 2017 and won the match at Gamescom
  • until he found Fortnite, and with it, wealth and popularity

Success Came with Fortnite

The Hype: Fortnite launched its “Battle Royale” mode in September 2017. Initially mockingly regarded as a blatant PUBG copy and an “emergency” action after the original Fortnite failed. However, Fortnite: Battle Royale became a hit.

By January 2018 at the latest, Fortnite had developed into a global phenomenon – and Ninja played a crucial role in this.

Large Gap to Number 2

10 million followers: Last night, Ninja became the first person to break the 10 million mark on Twitch. He is far ahead of the competition.

In comparison, Shroud has 3.91 million followers, Fortnite colleague TSM-Myth has 3.88 million, Twitch veteran summit1g has 3.25 million, and Riot Games, the creators of LoL, have 2.992 million.

Twitch Prime Subs the Big Money Maker

Twitch has made Ninja rich: Ninja has been set for months. Epic has already closed two “deals” with Twitch. Through these deals, Fortnite players receive an exclusive skin pack when they use a Twitch Prime subscription. Every month, users can distribute one free Twitch Prime subscription to a streamer.

These Twitch Prime subscriptions provide each “Subscriber” with a monthly contribution of about $2.50. It adds up. It is assumed that tens of thousands of subscriptions ended up with Ninja through this method, making him a millionaire.

Currently, there are rumors that Fortnite and Twitch are planning a 3rd pack for Twitch Prime.

Pokémon GO: Trade event active – Reduces costs and brings more candies

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the trading costs are reduced for about two weeks. You can find out what else the trading event brings here.

Spontaneous announcement: On Thursday evening, the Pokémon GO team announced that an event is now active. In this special trading event, you should take advantage of the new feature.

The bonuses: The stardust costs are reduced and you receive more candies when trading. Additionally, new Pokémon registered in the PokéDex grant more XP.

Trading Event – How long will it last?

Start and end: The trading event started on August 2, 2018, at 10:00 PM German time. According to Niantic, it will remain active until August 19, 2018, at 6:00 AM.

The bonuses: During the event, there are in-game advantages in three categories:

  • Less dust: 25% less stardust cost for every regular and special trade
  • More candies: In the announcement, Niantic states that you can earn “up to six candies” with each trade. It seems to be three additional candies for each trade
  • Triple XP: Registering new Pokémon in the PokéDex gives you triple the amount of experience points
Pokémon GO Lucky Title

Why this event? Niantic presumably wants to capitalize on the popularity of the trading feature. The function was introduced in the game only recently and is now expected to be heavily utilized due to the new bonuses.

You can find the new trading costs in the following infographic:

Pokémon GO Trading Event

Chance of Lucky Pokémon

Lucky Pokémon: Keep in mind, when trading you have the chance to receive Lucky Pokémon. These are new in Pokémon GO and are directly related to the trading system. Whether the chance of Lucky Pokémon is increased during the event is unclear.

Pokémon GO IV Lucky

What do we know about Lucky Pokémon?

  • Lucky Pokémon require less stardust for power-ups
  • They have minimum values of 10, 10, 10 – Don’t worry, your lucky Pokémon have good IV values
  • The longer a Pokémon has been in a trainer’s possession, the higher the chance that it will become “lucky” after the trade

And what about Gen 4? After an alleged leak, the trainer community is waiting for news about the fourth generation. However, Niantic probably still has nothing definitive to say about that.

Goosebumps! WoW has a new Saurfang cinematic “Old Warrior”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard has released a new CGI cinematic featuring Saurfang. Check out what drives the old warrior-orc in World of Warcraft!

The developers at Blizzard have once again managed to present a major surprise. Completely unexpectedly, they have released another cinematic for World of Warcraft – and not a “drawn” one, like the Warbringer videos, but a CGI video titled “Old Warrior.” It tells the story of Saurfang and his motivation, after Sylvanas burned Teldrassil.

You can watch the nearly 6-minute video here:

An end full of honor. Varok Saurfang longs for a death on the battlefield. After his own son became a death knight under Arthas, Varok is also trying to finally find an honorable death in battle, which has been denied to him for some time. His spirit is mostly broken, and after the burning of Teldrassil, he no longer supports Sylvanas’s decisions.

WoW Saurfang Cinematic title 2

He decides on a final battle and wants to face the Alliance troops before Undercity alone, to find a death in war and be with his son and ancestors. However, the young troll shaman by his side holds him back and asks him to “live a little longer” – because except for the Horde, they have nothing left.

“Zappy Boy” is also involved. Fans on Reddit are going crazy that “Zappy Boy” has his own role in the cinematic. The young troll shaman can also be seen in the intro cinematic of Battle for Azeroth and has quickly become a meme in the community. That he now plays such an important role alongside Saurfang is for the fans like a heavenly revelation.

WoW Saurfang Cinematic title 3

Cortyn says: Another goosebumps cinematic from Blizzard, completely unexpected and of such high quality. It may very well be the first time that a WoW expansion gets two very long videos in CGI quality. Hats off for that – now Saurfang has definitely become a little more likable. Also, the horde players who no longer support Sylvanas should be somewhat appeased; not everyone is a supporter of the war chief.

What do you think of this cinematic? How did you like it?

Destiny 2 hints at the return of 3-Tap hand cannons in the Crucible

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

In a short teaser, Bungie hints at the return of 3-Tap Hand Cannons in PvP from Destiny 2 and reveals more cool details. 

With just a 17-second teaser trailer, Bungie promotes the upcoming Combat Reveal Stream next Tuesday, August 7th. However, the clip contains far more details than some might suspect.

3-Tap Hand Cannons are returning in PvP: Numerous Guardians immediately noticed this detail, but Bungie itself made it very clear through several tweets: 3-Tap Hand Cannons will apparently make a return in the Crucible with the Forsaken expansion.

Destiny veterans fondly remember hand cannons like Eyasluna or the Palindrome, which dominated the Crucible in Destiny 1. Now, hand cannons could possibly become more popular in Destiny 2 soon.

What does the video show? A Guardian with the hand cannon Better Devils takes down his opponent with just three shots. While there are already a few hand cannons in Destiny 2 that can kill with three precision hits in PvP (110 RPM archetype), the Better Devils has definitely not been one of them until now.

Additionally, the third and thus deadly shot in the video appears to be a body shot rather than a precision shot. This shot is not delivered through the sights but fired from the hip.

Another detail: Furthermore, one can now assume with quite a bit of certainty that the IKELOS shotgun from the Escalation Protocol will move into the special or one of the two quick slots.

Because the Guardian in the video carries the exotic sniper Whisper of the Worm on his back and has the IKELOS shotgun actively equipped. The Whisper sniper will remain in the power slot in Year 2 – this has already been confirmed. Additionally, his setup is completed by the hand cannon Better Devils, which is also expected to remain kinetic in Year 2.

ESO: In the new dungeon, you must stop an army of werewolves with three others

Lucas Kaczynski Lucas Kaczynski Reading time 2 minutes

With the DLC “Wolfhunter”, two new dungeons are coming to The Elder Scrolls Online. One of the two dungeons takes place in the Moon Hunter’s Bastion. It has been conquered by werewolves, and you are to reclaim it.

Overrun by Werewolves

No Werewolves Allowed: The Silver Dawn Order consists of sworn werewolf hunters who have dedicated their lives to eradicating all werewolves. In their eyes, werewolves are cursed and must be removed from the face of Tamriel.

The Moon Hunter’s Bastion served for many years as the operational base to coordinate the missions of the order’s members in the region of Glenumbra.

ESO Wolfhunter 2

But despite the impressive walls of the Moon Hunter’s Bastion, some werewolves have accomplished the unthinkable and conquered it. This loss not only deals a severe blow to the Silver Dawn’s efforts in Glenumbra, but it also has a very demoralizing effect on the entire order.

The enemy they swore to destroy has triumphed over them.

4 Men Against a Small Army

A Fortress in the Moonlight: Therefore, you will be sent into the fortress to reclaim it for the Silver Dawn Order. While doing so, you must deal with the defensive mechanisms of the castle that serve to repel intruders.

Narrow corridors, complementary doors, and open spaces provide plenty of room to set ambushes and take down unsuspecting intruders. But it’s not just the fortress itself that makes your progress difficult.

ESO Vykosa

In the fortress, powerful werewolves are not the only magical beings waiting for you, trying to prevent you from reaching their leader Vykosa.

Vykosa is an ancient werewolf lady accompanied in battle by two chained wolves. She intends to use the Moon Hunter’s Bastion to breed a massive army that will engulf all of Tamriel. You are to prevent this and reclaim the order’s grounds in the process.

Become the Wild Werewolf

Wild Rewards: Completing the dungeon grants you numerous rewards, as always.

  • Upon first completion, you will receive a trophy and bust for your home
  • If you achieve the “Challenger of the Moon Hunter’s Bastion” achievement, you may dress in the appearance of the saber cat in brown werewolf fur
  • The bosses in the fortress drop a unique set for each armor type. With the medium armor set, you will inflict bleed damage on attacks
  • The Mask of Vykosa and the associated shoulders are ideal for tanks. The mask set increases your healing received and applies greater crippling to taunted enemies
ESO Wild Werewolf

Release: Wolfhunter releases for PC and Mac on August 13. PS4 and Xbox One follow on August 28. ESO Plus members can play the DLC for free during their membership.

Realm Royale for PS4 and Xbox One – 1. Invitations to the beta are out

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

The online shooter Realm Royale is set to release for the PS4 and Xbox One. However, a closed beta will take place first: the first wave of invites is on its way. But only a few are chosen.

First invitations for the closed beta of the online shooter Realm Royale for consoles are here. The emails were apparently sent out on August 1st. More invitations are expected to come, as the studio Hi-Rez wants to focus on technical improvements first.

What is Realm Royale? Realm Royale is based on the hero shooter Paladins, but it is a classic battle royale. On a large map, 100 players fight each other; the last one standing wins. Unlike other battle royale games, Realm Royale features RPG elements in the form of character classes and skills.

How do I get into the beta on PS4 or Xbox One? You need to sign up on the  official Realm Royale site. There is nothing else to consider. The game is free.

If you have registered and still haven’t received a code, you will probably only be allowed onto the servers with the upcoming waves.

Realm Royale classes

What about the PC? Realm Royale can already be played on PC. The  game is available for free on Steam.

When is the beta supposed to start? This week. If there are no delays, the closed beta will go online by August 5th at the latest.

WoW: Chris Metzen calls on the community to take a deep breath first

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

The mood in the World of Warcraft community is boiling shortly before the new expansion. The former head of WoW’s story, Chris Metzen, is now personally responding on Twitter.

Chris Metzen reassures the players: Following the uproar in recent days due to the pre-events for the new WoW addon Battle for Azeroth even the former Vice President of Blizzard, Chris Metzen, has spoken out on Twitter.

Players should take a deep breath, calm down, and enjoy the “ride.” The full extent of the wave has not yet been reached.

Heated discussions in the community

The reason for Chris Metzen’s post was that many WoW fans became increasingly vocal in recent days as they were unhappy with the current direction of the game. The idea behind Battle for Azeroth is to rekindle awareness for the Horde and Alliance. Perhaps that was a bit too successful.

Blizzard is also working with advertising: Check out the funny ads for Battle for Azeroth here!

Warbringers reinforce loyalty: In preparation for Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard has released “Warbringers” videos. In the videos that have been released so far, you can see two of the protagonists from Battle for Azeroth preparing for war.

The community’s reaction to the videos has shown that more and more players feel a stronger allegiance to their faction. They are reminded that the Horde and Alliance had only a purpose alliance against the Legion and are actually enemies.

WoW Battle for Azeroth key art

Players react strongly: Particularly the actions of Sylvanas have elicited very negative reactions from many players. Sylvanas appears as both evil in the videos, as well as in the pre-quest series “War of Thorns.”

The video for 5.7 shows: With MMORPG hope Crowfall, things are finally moving forward

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

The work on the unusual MMORPG Crowfall seems to be progressing. The developers at ArtCraft have now shown in a new video which systems will be added to the game with Milestone 5.7.

The developer studio ArtCraft continues to work tirelessly on the new MMO hope Crowfall. A new video now showcases the upcoming features that will be implemented with Milestone 5.7.

With the new day-night cycle, the threat of hunger becomes particularly noticeable. In addition, there are two new races, Stoneborn and Half-Giant.

Milestone 5.7 brings Hunger

The update reveals hunger: In the new video about Crowfall, a day-night cycle is shown, through which the threat in the game’s campaign, an evil force known as “Hunger”, is supposed to become truly noticeable for the first time. While during the day there is vain sunshine and players stumble over normal animals in the game world, this changes dramatically when the sun goes down.

Animals like wolves, moose, and hellcats transform at night due to the influence of hunger into bloodthirsty beasts that are not only harder to defeat but also much more aggressive.

Hunger comes at night: As soon as the sun goes down, hunger crystals grow from the ground, transforming the game world into a winter landscape. It is up to the players to destroy these crystals; otherwise, the world’s important resources will remain frozen.

Crowfall Hunger 1

Campaigns receive seasons: The game worlds will also acquire seasons, each with its own buffs or debuffs, with Milestone 5.7. For example, in summer there will be longer days and more collectible resources, while winter is the exact opposite.

Further new features, such as the two new races Stoneborn and Half-Giant, can be seen in the following video:

Crowfall Druid

Investment in Crowfall continued after Kickstarter – 20 million USD

Crowfall earns over 20 million USD: ArtCraft Entertainment financed Crowfall in March 2015 with 1.7 million USD from nearly 17,000 backers. Meanwhile, with the help of backers, investors, and partners, they have raised 20 million USD that will go into the development of the game.

Recently, the studio announced that they were able to sell the license for the MMO engine behind Crowfall to a large MMORPG studio, which brought in considerable funds. Additionally, distribution in Russia is secured, as they have found a strong partner there. This has also added more funds to the war chest.

Fortnite: Fire Rings – Map shows the locations of all fire rings

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Jump through fire rings with a shopping cart or golf cart, this is the challenge in week 4 of Season 5 in Fortnite . We will show you the locations of the fire rings on a map.

Here comes the action: The new tasks in Fortnite awaken the stuntman in you. At least they try to, as you are supposed to jump through flaming rings. But not on foot, rather with shopping carts or ATK (golf carts).

Where are the flaming rings in Fortnite?

About the ramps: Even before the launch of the new challenges in week 4, it was clear where the flaming rings are located. Ramps had already been found on the Fortnite map, which obviously serve for jumps.

You need to hit 5 targets: To complete the challenge, you must jump through 5 flaming rings. With a golf cart or shopping cart.

Locations of the flaming rings – Map

Fortnite Flaming Rings Map
The locations of the flaming rings compiled by Fortrisen
  • Northwest of Paradise Palms (H7): At the point where the grass biome transitions into the desert biome in the northwest, there is a bridge over a gorge. On the south side of the bridge, it goes down the gorge. There you will find a ramp leading to a jump over a rock. A flaming ring can be found here.

Creators of Conan Exiles plan new co-op shooter – Here’s what we know

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

The Norwegian game developer Funcom (Conan Exiles) has posted a job request. In this, there are some new details about the planned game, which was not supposed to receive any more information in 2018. It is a new coop shooter.

Funcom is looking for employees: The Funcom subsidiary in South Carolina is actively searching for new employees for a shooter for the “Heroic Signatures” brand. The job postings contain information about the game, such as console support and the underlying technology.

The game will be developed using Unreal Engine.

What we know about the “Heroic Signatures” shooter

We have known for some time that Funcom is working on a new shooter. In the quarterly report for the fourth quarter of 2017, Funcom revealed that they are working on a new shooter in South Carolina. However, they did not want to release any further information in 2018.

What is known about the shooter: Funcom is still keeping quiet about the new project. However, they already revealed some key facts about the game in the quarterly report. The new job postings on the official website have further descriptions that add to the picture.

What we already know about Funcom’s new shooter:

  • It is based on a franchise of the “Heroic Signatures”.
  • It will have nothing to do with Conan.
  • It is a co-op shooter.
  • There will be a premium model.
  • The Unreal Engine is the foundation.
  • There will be a console port for Xbox One and PS4.

New in this information are the premium model and the console port.

xbox-one-x-vs-ps4-pro
A console port is planned.

This could be it: The “Heroic Signatures” encompass numerous franchises across many universes. Some of the more well-known franchises under the Signatures include:

  • Conan the Barbarian
  • Mutant: Year Zero
  • Mutant Chronicles
  • Solomon Kane
  • Children of the Night

A complete list of the franchises can be found on the official website of Heroic Signatures.

Some “Heroic Signatures”

A game based on Mutant: Year Zero has already been announced by Funcom, and the world of Conan is not meant to be the foundation of the shooter. If Funcom has chosen a more well-known franchise, a “Solomon Kane” shooter or a “Mutant Chronicles” shooter would probably be likely.

Fortnite Treasure Map Week 4: Search between a gas station for the treasure

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale the treasure for week 4 says: Search between a gas station, a soccer field, and Stunt Mountain. Here you will find the target of the Week 4 Challenge in Fortnite. You don’t even need a treasure map to find the Battle Star.

A new treasure hunt: The fourth week of Season 5 has started and sends you on a new treasure hunt. We will show you where you need to travel for this task to find the hidden treasure.

Find Fortnite Week 4 Treasure – Map

The location for the treasure in week 4: You will find the secret spot between the gas station west of Loot Lake, the soccer field south of Pleasant Park, and the Stunt Mountain southwest of Pleasant Park.

In the northeast of Stunt Mountain and west of the gas station, you will find an area with sparse grass. There is also a rocky spot in the upper left corner. On this rocky spot, you will find the treasure. In the video linked below, you can see the exact spot. This is what it looks like on the map:

Fortnite Week 4 Season 5 Map

First take cover: Once you have found the mentioned spot, you need to collect the treasure. This is done with the action button and takes about a second. So make sure that no enemies are nearby first.

Watch out, sniper: Among the challenges from week 4 is also dealing damage with a sniper rifle. Clever players may be near this treasure to take out stationary opponents who are collecting the treasure. So be careful.

At the end of August, an extremely powerful Behemoth is coming to Monster Hunter World

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

In Monster Hunter: World there’s a lot going on in August. In addition to the crossover event with Final Fantasy XIV, an extreme version of Behemoth and new tempered monsters are coming. These events will take place from August to September.

After the last update at the end of May, MHW players had to hold out for a long time without fresh content, but that’s over for now. For August, Capcom is promising three more monsters and two Gamma armors.

von Leya Jankowski

Behemoth receives an extreme version

A stronger Behemoth is coming: In the new event quest, players will be able to challenge an “extreme” version of the Behemoth, which will be harder to defeat. Since the normal fight against the Behemoth is already quite challenging, the extreme version will provide a proper challenge.

Decorative armor as a reward: Players can obtain the Dragoon armor from Final Fantasy XIV as purely decorative armor and receive a title. From the normal Behemoth quest, players will receive the Dragoon armor with stats.

This quest is time-limited: Unlike the normal Behemoth, which is available indefinitely, the event quest for the Extreme Behemoth will only be available from August 24 to September 6.

New tempered monsters – When they are coming

Theostra and Kushala Daora: In addition to the extreme Behemoth, tempered versions of Theostra and Kushala Daora will also appear in event quests. Both will have Gamma versions of their armor sets as rewards. Gamma sets are even stronger variants of the high-rank armors.

When is the tempered Teostra coming? Already next week, from August 10 to August 23.

When is the tempered Kushala Daora coming? There is no exact date for Kushala yet, but the quest is expected to be available in September.

Fortnite: All challenges from week 4 S 5 and how to solve them

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale you can now complete the challenges for week 4. We will show you how the tasks and challenges look here. This week you need to find a treasure between a gas station and jump through fire rings.

All challenges of week 4 in Season 5 in Fortnite

These are the tasks: We have checked for you and compiled the tasks for the fourth week. In the following table, you can see the goals to be fulfilled. The first 3 tasks are to be solved by every player. The tasks in the 2nd table are for players who have purchased a Battle Pass.

Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.

Challenge 1: Build Structures

Happens on the side: Building is an important part of Fortnite. Here, normal building parts count, so progress should come automatically when you play many matches. Otherwise, just use the downtime between fights and build a few more structures if you have time and resources left.

Challenge 2: Jump with the Shopping Cart or ARK through Burning Rings

Skill required: This sounds like a task for the stuntmen among you. You will jump through the burning rings with the shopping carts or golf carts. We will show you where these are hidden in our guide on Mein-MMO: All burning rings for week 4 in Fortnite

Challenge 3: Eliminate Opponents at Dusty Divot (Hard)

Hard Task: This challenge belongs to the “hard” category because you first need to find 3 players in Dusty Divot and then eliminate them. At the start of the challenge, this place will be visited by many players.

Challenge 4: Deal Damage to Opponents with Sniper Rifles

Sniper Training: Use this task to improve your aiming. You might find a quiet spot outside of Dusty Divot. There should be many moving targets because of challenge 3.

Challenge 5: Search Chests at Flush Factory

To the Toilet Factory: For this task, you need to go to the toilet factory, Flush Factory, and search for boxes. For this purpose, Squatingdog has created a map with the locations.

Challenge 6: Search between a Gas Station, a Football Field and Stunt Mountain (Hard)

The Treasure Map: This week you need to search for a treasure at a special location again. In our guide, we will show you where this treasure can be found on Mein-MMO.

Here you can find the treasure between a gas station, football field, and stunt mountain in Fortnite

Challenge 7: Eliminate Opponents with a Pistol (Hard)

Many Opponents, Many Kills: This task can also be linked with challenge 3 in Dusty Divot. Many opponents will gather in that area due to the challenge. However, you must use the pistol for your kills here.

fortnite-doppel-pistole

Here’s how it’s easier: You can also wait in team mode until an opponent is down and then finish them off with a pistol. This makes the fight easier for you, as you do not have to rely on weak weapons.
