The goals of the global challenges in Pokémon GO have been fulfilled. Now strong XP bonuses and an Articuno Day await you.
Global challenges: As part of the summer events for Pokémon GO, Niantic has set tasks for trainers. These had to be completed by solving research tasks.
Tasks completed: The challenges during the Safari Zone in Dortmund have been successfully completed. Now the rewards are coming into play.
What rewards are there? To ensure that the work was not in vain, Niantic rewards you with more experience points and an Articuno Day.
Double and triple experience points
When will the rewards be available? After the Safari Zone, the bonuses will be activated – which means starting July 2 (presumably 10:00 PM German time). The rewards will be active for one week and will then end on July 9 at 10:00 PM German time.
What bonuses are there exactly?
Lucky Eggs last 1 hour instead of 30 minutes
Double experience points in raids
Triple experience points for hatching eggs
Triple experience points for catching Pokémon
What does this mean for you? You can quickly get closer to your goal of Level 40 with these increased experience points. Do you know people who want to start playing? For them, this is a good time to quickly reach the high-level areas.
Articuno Day – with Shiny form!
Big bonus for completed tasks: Since all tasks for the Safari Zone in Dortmund have now been completed, you will (presumably at the start of the bonuses shown above) receive a batch of Raid Passes. That means 5 Raid Passes for the Articuno Day. You will receive these 5 passes once when you first spin a Photo Disc at a gym.
The Articuno Day: The Articuno Day will take place on July 7. For three hours, the legendary Ice Bird will appear in raid battles worldwide. Niantic adds: “And if you are lucky, you may even encounter its Shiny form!” However, how high the chance for Shiny Articuno will be is still unknown.
Collectors should be quick and keep their eyes open. So far, no time has been announced for when Articuno will appear in the gyms. We will report about it on Mein-MMO.de.
Europe event starting soon: As a kind of apology for the problematic Safari Zone, Niantic plans a Europe-wide event in Pokémon GO.

With Fallout 76, fans of the post-apocalyptic role-playing series can expect an online game that, according to Bethesda’s Pete Hines, will not unfold as many might imagine.
Fallout 76 Multiplayer is not what many expect
Fallout 76 is not an MMORPG: According to Pete Hines, many players think of an MMORPG when they hear the words “multiplayer” and “online.” However, Fallout 76 will definitely not be that. You will not encounter hundreds or thousands of other players, but only dozens. And that in a very large game world.
Furthermore, there are no NPCs who all players can approach to get quests. The very fact that it is a post-apocalyptic scenario with very few survivors excludes the “massively” from the term MMORPG.
Fallout 76 isnot an online shooter: Others think of an online shooter when it comes to Fallout 76, according to Pete Hines. But this is not true. You will not be constantly fighting each other since there are also quests to complete (which you will receive from robots or computer terminals). The world is meant to be explored, and you build your own base.
Players should not expect a battle royale shooter where everyone fights until only one remains.
Fallout 76 does not focus on PvP: It is also a misconception, according to Pete Hines, that Fallout 76 will be a PvP-heavy game. While fights between players can happen, the game promotes more cooperative gameplay. Moreover, it is not possible to track down a defeated opponent and eliminate them over and over again. The so-called “griefing” is prevented by the game with special security measures.
PvP in Fallout 76 does not mean that you should attack everything and everyone. PvP is more of a challenge system.
Bethesda wants to offer something special
Fallout 76 is a unique gaming experience: No MMORPG, no online shooter, no focus on PvP. What will Fallout 76 be then? It is supposed to be something new and special. Bethesda does not follow trends just because certain types of games are popular at a certain time. Bethesda develops games that are meant to be fun and always offer a special approach.
And this also applies to Fallout 76. According to Bethesda, it represents a unique gaming experience that cannot be compared to other games. Therefore, the multiplayer part of the game will not unfold as many might imagine.
Bethesda’s focus remains on single-player experiences. With Wolfenstein, Rage 2, Doom Eternal, and the announcement of the role-playing games Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6, Bethesda wants to demonstrate that the company’s focus remains on single-player games. Even Pete Hines admits that he mainly plays alone – and that should also be possible in Fallout 76. Fans need not fear that the studio will only develop online games in the future.

New month. New MMOs! In July, we present you a colorful selection of online games that we can recommend.
As every month, we have a list of game recommendations again. We want to especially highlight these in July. There are quite a few shooters, but also wild races and fantasy adventures.
The Division – Global Events and Shields deliver new content
Although a sequel, The Division 2, has been announced for the upcoming year, it is still worth taking a look at the first part of The Division. Even in the third year after release, there is still plenty to do, especially for returnees and newcomers. From June to September, all Global Events are running, providing you with the best gear.
What’s new in The Division? Loot and action with Global Events
What are the Global Events? During the period of the Global Events, which usually last for a week, specific modifiers are active that influence and change the gameplay. For example, the heads of your enemies explode in chemical clouds after headshots. And melee attacks look like Thor himself is striking down with the new modes!
Grab the best loot: At the Global Event vendor, you have the chance to purchase containers with special Global Event Credits, which contain certain secret sets. These are the most powerful gear currently available in the game.
Agents of Shield
Also new: The Shield challenges, which reward you for completing with rewards for The Division 1 & 2. So you’re already getting goodies for the sequel. There will be a total of 12 Shield challenges. Four of them have already appeared with the last patch. Starting in July, a new Shield will be added monthly.
Why should you play The Division?
With the many events and the Shield Challenges, Ubisoft’s MMO shooter offers you plenty of achievements. Therefore, it is especially worthwhile to take another look at the game.
So you can further improve your gear and thus complete the Shield tasks even better. You will be optimally prepared for Part 2.
In Fortnite, a player used the rocket launch to set an impressive record: 48 kills as a solo player. No one will likely match that. But is his method unfair or incredibly clever?
Peaceful event: Yesterday, the rocket launched in Fortnite. This had been announced for a while. The unique event took place at a very specific time: at 7:30 PM.
Players already knew this in advance and wanted to be in the game at that time to witness the rocket launch. In many matches, players put down their weapons during this time. They gathered, danced, and stared at the sky.
Here in the video, you can see how 48 players built a wooden ramp to watch the event up close. They are just collecting wood, carrying no weapons, and want to enjoy the event in a spontaneous party-like manner.

Peaceful Fortnite celebration turns into a massacre
One had other plans: The player Elemental_Ray had very different ideas in mind. He destroyed the ramp where everyone was standing at the climax of the show. The 48 astonished players fell to their deaths. The kills are credited to the ramp destroyer. Elemental_Ray now holds the record for solo kills in a game of Fortnite. That is an impressive achievement that many pros are keen on – at least theoretically.
Pissed off: Not everyone is a fan of this. It was said on Twitter: The guy has a kill-death ratio of 0.47 and has only won 0.6% of all the games he participated in. Nevertheless, he now holds the record for solo kills – an absolute legend.
There’s irony in the fact that someone like that shouldn’t really deserve this honor.

Record normally reserved for top players: Normally, this record is only reserved for the best players who have an exceptional day and perform outstandingly. A Belgian player achieved 43 kills by playing alone in a squad match and showing outstanding performance, although against weak opponents. The new record has now come about only through ruthlessness and cleverness by exploiting a unique, special moment.
On the “Fortnite Tracker” leaderboard, the record is now immortalized:
An exotic weapon from the “Curse of Osiris” DLC for Destiny 2 warned players about Prince Uldren and his plans. But only now have fans stumbled upon these clues.
The Lore Community of Destiny 2 has now come across a hidden message in the “Curse of Osiris” DLC for Destiny 2 after a hot tip. The previously unnoticed message contains a warning about Prince Uldren and his plans, which will unfold in the upcoming Forsaken expansion.
The Telesto warned the Guardians about Cayde’s murderer
Warning already in the Osiris DLC: What came as a surprise to many Guardians and caused a shocking moment has apparently been foreseeable for a long time – not the murder itself, but Uldren’s dark plans. Because a hidden warning about the Awakened Prince and his ambitions has existed in Destiny 2 since the “Curse of Osiris” DLC.
Fans have only now discovered the clues: But only now did the Destiny Ghost Stories Lore Discord Community stumble upon this hidden clue after a tip. After intense research and discussions, fans have now managed to reveal the content of the hidden message with a simple method.
Telesto lore provides insight into Uldren’s ambitions: The hint was hidden in the lore text of the exotic fusion rifle Telesto.
Contingency reserves overdrawn. We underestimated nobility troth reparations. Uldren suggests that we open reintegration talks. Have you discussed endowment support? If Reef endorses support, Paladin Oran will engineer reinforcement.
If you take the first letters of each word and string them together, you get the following text: CROW UNTRUSTWORTHY DESIRES POWER. In translation, it means: Crow untrustworthy desires power.
The crow refers to Uldren, as he is often referred to as the master of crows. The crows are small drones that Uldren uses for reconnaissance and surveillance.
Interesting: This warning is not only integrated into the English lore text of the Telesto. As users on Reddit report, this message can be found in numerous other Destiny 2 localizations – including the French, Japanese, and Italian versions. A coincidence can therefore be ruled out.
The special thing: The deciphered message is a complex coded message intricately woven into the lore, directed at Petra Venj. It is a clear warning to the Reef leadership (after the destruction of the Reef) that Uldren is becoming an increasing threat. How dangerous Uldren really is and how far he can go was recently made clear in the Forsaken story trailer.
However, this hint is comparatively easy to decipher when considering the complex puzzles that fans have already solved in Destiny 2. It is therefore quite surprising that the community did not stumble upon this earlier.
With The Crew 2 (PC, PS4, Xbox One), Ivory Tower aims to improve everything with better driving physics, more long-term motivation, and better graphics compared to its predecessor. Our author Robert has battled through various disciplines and returns from his test of The Crew 2 with mixed feelings.
What The Crew 2 wants to be: Ivory Tower is once again trying to win the hearts of racing game fans. With improved graphics, better vehicle controls, and significantly more variety, the developers want to leave the predecessor behind. But have they succeeded? We take a detailed look at the story of The Crew 2, the racing modes, and online features.
[toc]
The Crew 2 Offers
Arcade racer with many vehicles: The Crew 2 is an arcade racing game where you compete against computer-controlled opponents in various disciplines and vehicles. The selection of vehicles is vast, ranging from regular street racers to motocross bikes, powerboats, and airplanes.
Driving and flying takes place on a massive map. The map is modeled after the United States of America. According to the manufacturer, crossing this map from the West to the East Coast takes about 40 to 60 minutes.
Online, you can race with your friends in a crew or compare your stats in smaller disciplines like speed traps, slalom races, etc. Even after the game’s release, the developer intends to continuously deliver fresh content to keep players engaged for a long time.
Who is The Crew 2 suitable for? Those who enjoy arcade racing games like Need for Speed or Forza Horizon may also find enjoyment in The Crew 2.
Who is The Crew 2 less suitable for? Fans of racing simulations like Gran Turismo will likely not be happy with The Crew 2, as various vehicle parameters cannot be changed. The driving behavior also strays far from a simulation.

The racing modes leave little to be desired: Whether by water, land, or air – countless vehicles are waiting to be tried out. The respective tasks are varied and sometimes challenging. I particularly struggle with the airplanes, but I hope that practice will make perfect.
If you really want to participate in all races at normal and hard difficulty, you will be busy for a while. The side missions are also not neglected. Speed traps, slalom races, or fleeing from an expanding red circle – here you will find different challenges for all vehicle types.
A real insider tip for street racing: The MV Agusta
With rubber bands across the USA: A notably observed aspect during the test of The Crew 2 is the so-called rubber band AI. Opposing vehicles cannot be shaken off. The field is distinctly held together artificially.
This type of rubber banding seemed significantly weaker in the closed beta, in my opinion. To test how strong the mechanism actually is, I conducted an experiment:
Our experiment reveals weaknesses: A street race involves a longer drive on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I intentionally fell back a whole minute and then continued at a normal pace. No four minutes later, I was back in first place.
A pronounced rubber band mechanic can also provide a realistic chance of victory even in severe driving errors – however, those who would have left the opponents behind anyway will find the mechanic annoying. Clean and fast driving in The Crew 2 is only rewarded when your vehicle is significantly stronger than the race’s specifications.
The Graphics of The Crew 2 – A Feast for the Eyes (As Long as It’s Bright)
Compared to its predecessor, Ivory Tower has significantly upped the graphics in The Crew 2. Particularly the lighting effects look fantastic. Whether directly on the vehicles or the ambient lights – the light animations appear credible.
Water animations are convincing: Those who take their boat away from the coast will notice changes in the wave patterns. The water of the surroundings also changes accordingly. For example, the ground in the swamps of Maine takes on a different color than at the coast.
Darkness in The Crew 2 means: It’s pitch black! That’s not an exaggeration. At times, The Crew 2 becomes unplayable at night. Off the roads, the lighting can be virtually non-existent. The light beam from your headlights, however, is far from enough, especially at high speeds.
With a medium brightness setting, nothing is visible at night. At times, I have no choice but to wait for dawn.
The twilight and dawn are really beautiful to see – the nights, however, are pitch black
Ivory Tower absolutely needs to correct this. The coloring and lighting intensity may be realistic – but realism does not necessarily equal fun.
The Story of The Crew 2 – Unfortunately Not Everything Can Be Skipped
Unnecessary story in The Crew 2: My grandmother used to say: “If you have nothing reasonable to say, you might as well say nothing.” It’s a pity the developers don’t know this saying; otherwise, they could have spared themselves the story altogether.
Even after around half of the game, I cannot summarize what Ivory Tower actually wants to tell us. Vaguely, it’s about a conflict between the traditionalists of racing, who prefer to continue illegal racing, and the reformers, who would rather race in an organized manner with sponsors by their side.
You can customize your vehicles as you like!
The forced attempt to be cool: While everything sounds somewhat interesting, unfortunately, the developers fail to convey it even remotely properly. The dialogues were clearly written for the youngest audience. There’s talk of “pimping rides” and “full of action.” It’s almost mandatory to include “bro” at the end of the sentence.
Like a mantra, the various characters emphasize that one should have “a lot of fun.” If you want to see how much fun our alter ego has in the car, just take a peek inside the cockpit before the race starts.
Of course, a racing game does not rely on a good story; it never has. However, if I had to choose between a silly story like that in The Crew 2 or complete absence of a story like in Gran Turismo, I would probably always opt for the game from Polyphony Digital.
The Online Features of The Crew 2 – Patience is a Virtue
Much co-op in The Crew 2: In the various disciplines, you can compete with your crew, which consists of up to four players. You race together against computer-controlled vehicles. Even if a certain competition can develop in these races – who the really best driver is will only be determined in the pure PvP races.
No PvP until December 2018: You’ll have to wait until Winter 2018 for this feature. Why such a fundamental feature is not available at launch in an online racing game is beyond me. It certainly raises the question of whether such a feature introduced so late after release will attract many racers.
Various leaderboards from mini-disciplines like speed traps and slalom races cannot compensate for the lack of PvP. This leads us to the next and for many players crucial point: long-term motivation.
How much time you need for The Crew 2: While it is not representative, voices are already growing in the community that have completed the game. The consensus is: 10-15 hours are required to complete all story events. The events are divided into the following categories:
Story events for 14 disciplines – For these, you must have the vehicles available. In some cases, you will need to repeat events to save up for a new vehicle.
Smaller challenges “Tests” – Here you need to achieve certain speeds in speed traps or reach a certain score in slalom races.
Free Drive – Here you can explore the map at will. Scattered across the map are so-called live rewards that bring you new parts for your vehicle. When you approach such a reward, it is indicated by an acoustic signal and a pulsating mini-map.
The roadmap for The Crew 2 post-launch: According to Ivory Tower’s roadmap, two vehicles will be added to the fleet monthly – however, players will only experience real content again in September. Then the hovercraft and the overhaul of the loot system will come, which will introduce a new rarity level for performance parts among other things.
Once you have completed the story events and the smaller challenges (in-game: tests), you can explore the vast map and take photos. However, larger long-distance events as in the predecessor are not present in The Crew 2; only one race will keep you busy for over half an hour.
Whether exploring the map and using the photo mode provides enough long-term motivation is something everyone has to decide for themselves. Personally, I find it too little over time.
Conclusion – Attractive Arcade Racer with a Stuttering Engine
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Realm Royale has unexpectedly taken off on Steam. In less than three weeks, the fantasy battle royale has gained three million players on Steam. What sets Realm Royale apart from the competition?
What is Realm Royale? The battle royale shooter takes place in a fantasy world where you develop your character into a champion. As is common in the genre, you are dropped onto an island and fight for survival. Along the way, you will find legendary gear in the form of armor, potions, weapons, and skills.
1. Classes bring strong RPG elements to battle royale
Five classes make Realm Royale unique: The battle royale genre thrives on everyone starting with the same resources. Everyone has a generic hero and possesses neither weapons nor other equipment. However, in Realm Royale, you choose one of five classes at the beginning of a match, each with a starter skill.
The equality of chances remains despite the classes: The classes all provide a certain advantage and can learn additional skills throughout the match. The first skill is unlocked for everyone. For example, the Warrior can perform a heroic leap forward, or the Mage can fly in any direction for a short time. Since each player has access to one of these advantageous skills at the start, the balance is still maintained.
How does Realm Royale stand out with the classes? The classes bring a new strategic element to battle royale that other representatives of the genre do not offer. The respective classes play differently in solo or team play. For example, the Engineer has some traits that can be supportive. There is a rock-paper-scissors principle between the classes that must be played skillfully.
In Realm Royale, there is no classic parachute. You just land on the ground with a heroic hero pose.
2. Crafting is static, but offers excitement
Realm Royale has, like Fortnite, a building element: Scattered across the map in every area are forges. Here, you can create legendary armor or potions that significantly strengthen your fighter. You use equipment that you have dismantled into shards as material. This means that crafting is location-based and the forges serve as important objectives.
Using the forges is a dangerous and tactical decision: Other players can see if a forge is burning. Crafting an item takes almost a minute. So if you decide to use a forge, there are already plenty of enemies around the corner who would love to take your valuable loot. This creates an exciting thrill.
How does Realm Royale stand out with the forge? Building is nothing new in battle royale thanks to Fortnite, but it works here much more dynamically and quickly. In Realm Royale, you do not need fast reflexes to build. Instead, you need to be able to make the right decision at the right time. Am I safe when I use the forge or is it too risky with my current equipment? Is it worth it for me to attack this active forge?
The forge is an important object in Realm Royale, and using it is a risk.
3. Chickens provide new mechanics and have high recognition value
Whoever dies first becomes a chick: If your health points drop to zero, you still have a chance to stay in the game. You turn into a chicken and gain slower movement speed. If you manage to survive as a chicken for a certain period, you will return to the game with your character. This also applies if you are playing solo.
Chickens are ideal as a cute and funny mascot: The chickens are already one of the most popular features of Realm Royale. They stand out and offer plenty of opportunities for fan merchandise, memes, and foster a bond with the game.
How does Realm Royale stand out through the chickens? There is probably no battle royale game that has such a delightfully silly form of resurrection. The chickens have cult potential.
The chickens are already fan favorites and somewhat cult-like.
4. HiRez Studios knows how to add a twist to their games
HiRez has already proven they can stand out: The developers behind Realm Royale have added their own twist to other genres and have been successful with it.
SMITE: This MOBA has primarily distinguished itself through the third-person perspective, which is absolutely atypical for the genre. Additionally, players fight with existing gods and mythological figures, which also gives the game something special.
Paladins: The hero shooter is the only serious contender to Blizzard’s Overwatch. Part of this is certainly due to the game being free. Nevertheless, Paladins with customizable heroes have also distinguished themselves by bringing a new strategic layer to the genre.
Realm Royale appeals to a new audience: By adding classes and strong RPG elements, HiRez can certainly capture a new group of players here. As a result, Realm Royale really does not play like a classic battle royale.
Also interesting: In Realm Royale, everyone has a mount. You can mount and dismount at any time.
The signs are good: Realm Royale has the potential to establish itself as a niche battle royale between Fortnite and PUBG. The class system and the fantasy world are certainly not appealing to every shooter fan. It doesn’t have to be, either. Because Realm Royale appeals again to friends of RPG systems. HiRez should further develop and refine these pillars to offer this target audience a battle royale experience to their liking.
The Free2Play Action MMO Crossout (PC, PS4, Xbox One) is getting bigger again. With the new update 0.9.90, there’s plenty of content. This includes a new PvP mode and a PvE raid.
Even more content in the post-apocalypse: Recently, content update 0.9.90 was released for Crossout. The update adds a new PvP game mode, a new cooperative PvE raid, a new location, as well as a bunch of other new features.
More PvP Action
Tactical battles in “Domination”: In the new PvP game mode “Domination”, two teams compete for control over three strategic zones on the map. Both teams must divide their forces tactically and capture and hold at least two of the zones. The new mode is available to all players from level 10 through the regular random battles.
New location: Domination is also playable in the new “Nameless Tower” location. This is an old cooling tower of an abandoned nuclear power plant, now towering over the wastelands as a bizarre cult temple.
Take down the Leviathan factory! The new PvE raid “Steel Cradle” sends teams of four players against a factory complex in the wastelands. Here, the massive Leviathans are built.
You must destroy several components of the facility in the raid. And do so before the construction of the Leviathan is completed. If you fail to destroy the components in time, there will be consequences.

In the coming days, Niantic will activate a Europe-wide event in Pokémon GO. The reason is the issues that occurred in Dortmund.
New Event: During the coming week, Niantic plans to launch an event that will be active across Europe. This is basically an apology for the issues at the Safari Zone in Dortmund.
Why the apology? The Safari Zone started in Dortmund at around 9:00 AM on Saturday. By late afternoon, serious errors occurred that made it impossible for players to participate in the event. For some trainers, the apps constantly crashed, while others simply could not connect to Pokémon GO.
Problems at the Safari Zone in Westfalenpark Dortmund
Frustration among players: About 1.5 hours after the start of the Safari Zone on June 30, problems arose in Pokémon GO. Game data could no longer be retrieved from the servers, trainers could not access the game. The Westfalenpark in Dortmund, the venue for the Safari Zone, was particularly affected.
This was extremely frustrating for players because many traveled a long way to attend this special event. Images from Dortmund showed that a large number of trainers were present. In between, Niantic explained that the Safari Zone’s capacity had been reached and trainers should prefer to go to the city first and return later.
Why the large influx? Rare Pokémon like Corasonn and Unown attracted the masses of trainers to Dortmund. When the problems occurred at the Safari Zone, trainers migrated to the city. Because there, with help from Niantic, there were now more rare monsters to find – After all, trainers shouldn’t have traveled in vain.
Community annoyed
Disappointed players: In our Pokémon community on Facebook, thousands of trainers exchanged their experiences on Saturday. Many were disappointed with Niantic. “You plan such a big event and then it fails,” they wrote. Others were annoyed because they went out of their way. After all, a similar large event went wrong last year. The legendary GO Fest became a legendary mess.
More information will come no earlier than Sunday
This is what Niantic says: On Twitter, the Pokémon GO account stated that they will hold an event later this week. This will be organized for the trainers affected by the problems at the Safari Zone. More information is expected shortly after the Safari Zone concludes.

The “Hunger” represents a dark force in the PvP MMORPG Crowfall that devours entire worlds. This power plays an important role in the game’s story.
Hunger is not a good thing
What is the Hunger? The Hunger is a kind of counterbalance to the gods of the game universe. It is a mysterious, dark power that annihilates entire worlds. It appears in two forms:
The Infestation – The “Dying Worlds” that you visit in Crowfall are gradually infected by the Hunger. This is shown by black, icy crystals that appear and spread everywhere. All trees, stones, ore veins, buildings, and more in the vicinity are affected. You can no longer mine resources as they become frozen. The land becomes barren. With the Spirit Tool, you fight this infection and can temporarily destroy the crystals, returning the land to its original state – until the Hunger appears again.
The Corruption – The Hunger affects the land and living beings. Creatures infected by the Hunger transform into horrific beasts that attack you at night. Even normally peaceful animals become monsters. Corrupted beings are, however, susceptible to sunlight. If you survive until morning, the light of the sun will destroy these creatures. If animals are near a heat source, it is possible for them to escape the corruption.
The Hunger cannot be stopped. Even if you can fight the Hunger in the campaign worlds, it is not possible to stop it completely. At some point, the crystals will spread so far that they cannot be contained anymore, until the entire world is lost. Then the campaign ends, and you return to your Eternal Kingdom.
Hunger crystals also have advantages. However, the Hunger is not only bad. When you destroy the crystals, there is a chance that you will find “Hunger Shards.” These items are useful:
They help you with crafting
You can plant a “Banewood” tree with a Hunger Shard, which you need to start a siege.
Fortnite is promoting a special event for this Saturday evening, June 30. It probably concerns the launch of the rocket. But when is that exactly? What does 10:30 AM PT, 1:30 PM ET, and 7:30 PM CET mean?
Something is happening in Fortnite today: The in-game message from Fortnite: Battle Royale clearly states that something is happening this evening. You should get into a match and look up at the sky. “It only happens once,” warns the developers’ message.
Confusion about Daylight Saving Time / Standard Time
When is that exactly? The time is given as 10:30 AM PT, 1:30 PM ET, 7:30 PM CET. This is the respective standard time in the regions:
West Coast of the USA (PT),
East Coast of the USA (ET)
and Central Europe, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland (CET).
The event in question will therefore take place at 7:30 PM our time. Actually, we are currently in Daylight Saving Time. This means that the event would shift to 8:30 PM if Epic were to take the time statement very seriously.
Stated standard time is probably an error: However, much indicates that Epic simply made a mistake here or did not take the time statement very seriously.
On one hand, it would be unreasonable to ask players to convert the time
On the other hand, the countdowns in Fortnite, for example on televisions, indicate that it really starts at 7:30 PM our time. For Epic, standard time therefore applies everywhere.
Screenshot was taken at 2:26 PM, and there are still 5 hours and 3 minutes left. So it matches with 7:30 PM our time.
Look to the sky
What exactly is happening? Officially, we do not know that yet. But it is expected that the rocket launches from Shobby Shores. This seems to be the climax of a storyline that has been unfolding behind the scenes in Fortnite for months. Ultimately, it concerns the meteorite at the end of Season 3. An alien emerged from it, the Visitor, and now he has something planned with this rocket. It could initiate the transition to Season 5 – which is supposed to start in less than two weeks.
What effects will it have in the game? We do not know that yet. It could be that unexpectedly new modes go online, where you have to take down a giant monster, the Leviathan, similar to Thanos. It is certain that Moisty Mire is set to disappear by the end of Season 4. Maybe this will happen this evening. But these are currently just speculations.
What should you do this evening? If Epic has its way, all players should try to be in a Fortnite match at 7:30 PM our time and look up at the sky.
Can Fortnite’s servers handle it?
Will it work – What about queues and server problems? Many expect that there could be serious login problems when millions of players log in at the same time. Some joke that it is a massive stress test of the servers disguised as an event. Perhaps that is why Epic is no longer trying to bring the “Playground” mode live. In any case, it is advisable to log into Fortnite early. From 7 PM, there may be long queues for Fortnite on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch, and Mobile.
Mein-MMO is there: We at Mein-MMO.de will certainly be on-site and report as quickly as possible about the outcome of the event.
What happened? Light from space targeted Tilted Towers
This is what happened: At exactly 7:30 PM, the rocket launched from the western part of the map at Snobby Shores. This was announced by an increasingly loud siren that could be heard even in the furthest corners of the map. The rocket ascended into the sky gradually.
After the rocket vanished into space, a light descended onto the world of Fortnite. The light seemed to target Tilted Towers. But the impact apparently did not occur.
In any case, the event left a lasting impression on Fortnite. The now purple-lit sky is adorned by a rift. Some speculate: The world of Fortnite might have been under a dome, which now has a rift. Others speak of a dimensional rift.
Were there map changes in Fortnite after the event? A rocket part crashed in Anarchy Acres. That is likely the booster part of the rocket, which was deliberately detached as the rocket ascended into the sky. The rocket part can be dismantled with a pickaxe.
Here you can see videos of the rocket launch event “Launch” in Fortnite
The video shows the launch of the rocket from Snobby Shores particularly well:

During the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, the popular video game Fortnite plays a role. Striker star Antoine Griezmann celebrates in the round of 16 “France-Argentina” like in the game after scoring his goal to make it 1-0. This is what the Fortnite celebration looked like that millions witnessed.
Take the L: Striker star Antoine Griezmann scored a penalty goal to make it 1-0 in the round of 16 match between France and Argentina. He celebrated in Fortnite style. He danced the emote “Take the L” – perhaps the most famous gesture from Fortnite. The dance is also known as “Loser Dance”.
This is exactly how it looked: After Griezmann cleanly converted the penalty, he ran to the corner flag holding up the “L” by forming the letter with the index finger and thumb of his right hand. Just before reaching the corner flag, as his teammates caught up with him, he performed the little dance. The dance comes from the reboot of Stephen King’s “IT.”
Fans dance along: In the ARD images, it’s visible that some French fans in the audience join in the celebration, thus celebrating their team’s goal. Griezmann had celebrated like this before when he scored goals for his club “Atletico Madrid.”
What else does Fortnite have to do with the World Cup?
Soccer skins in Fortnite style: Fortnite likes to take real-life spectacles like the FIFA World Cup as an opportunity to incorporate them into the game. Thus, there were special soccer skins in Fortnite. The joke here: One could buy a single skin and customize it to their own country.
Soccer players like to celebrate in Fortnite style: It is new for a star like Griezmann to celebrate at the World Cup. However, soccer players have already danced like in Fortnite before.
For Fallout 76, there is concern that PvP could ruin the game. Game Director Todd Howard talks in an interview about how this issue is being addressed – and how griefers will be made to have a harder time.
A bounty on griefers: Those who take out another player in Fallout 76 who does not want to engage in PvP will receive a bounty placed on them. Their “wanted level” increases and a kind of hunt is opened against them – which brings many disadvantages.
In Fallout 76, griefers are basically defenseless
If a player in Fallout 76 kills other players who do not want to, the killer no longer enjoys all the advantages of the game. They cannot do certain things that other players are allowed to do. What exactly those are has not yet been revealed by Howard – although some of the disadvantages have been mentioned.
Bounty and always visible. In an interview with Gamestar, Howard Todd explains: If a player behaves “like a jerk” in the PvP of Fallout 76, a bounty is placed on them. Any other player in the match can then hunt them.
The position of players who have a bounty on them is visible to every other player. They can no longer hide, and the hunt is on. When exactly a bounty is placed on players depends on various factors that the developers are still working on.
Griefers become “epic boss enemies”: A player who steps out of line becomes something like an “epic boss enemy” through this mechanism. Since their position is known to all players, and with the bounty comes a large reward, they become a welcome target for all other players.
In the current tests within the development team, such a manhunt brings great joy. As soon as a player has a bounty placed on them and is spotted, all others go after them.
Fallout 76 is a team game – even when it comes to dealing with PvP griefers.
Fallout 76 should be fun: According to Howard, the worst thing for Fallout 76 would be if you stopped playing because others take the fun away from you. This includes ensuring that PvP does not intrude on the co-op area – and conversely, PvE players are not forced into PvP.
How exactly players can decide not to participate in PvP has not yet been explained by Howard. It is very difficult to kill such players who choose against PvP – but according to Howard, it is possible. How Bethesda ultimately implements these ideas will be revealed by November 14 – the release date of Fallout 76.

Because there are currently problems in the Safari Zone in Dortmund at Pokémon GO, trainers can also make great discoveries in the city.
What happened? This weekend on June 30 and July 1, the Safari Zone is running in Westfalenpark Dortmund. Unfortunately, there are significant issues with crashes and connection errors.
What should trainers do now? It is advised to go into the city and play there. Some rewards are also active there.
Corasonn and 2KM Eggs distributed in the city
Server problems cause frustration: Since this morning, there have been server issues in Pokémon GO. Some players cannot even get into the game and cannot participate in the Safari in Westfalenpark Dortmund. This is causing frustrated players in the community.
Niantic’s contingency plan: The developers are aware of the problems and are informing trainers via social media. Niantic states: Now even more Pokémon are appearing in the city of Dortmund. Those who traveled to Dortmund for the Safari Zone should rather explore the city than go to Westfalenpark. There are capacity issues there.
The 2KM Eggs are also available in the city: A feature of the Safari Zone is special 2KM Eggs from which rare monsters hatch. These were originally supposed to be available only in Westfalenpark by spinning the Photo Discs. However, they can now also be obtained across Dortmund during the Safari Zone.

Bad memories: At the Pokémon GO Fest in 2017, there were also problems. The 1st birthday of Pokémon GO was celebrated in Chicago, and many trainers traveled there specifically. Then they realized that they could not log in. Connection issues.
Replacement in the city: Trainers report on social media that playing outside of the Safari Zone is worthwhile. Trainer Derausmwaldkam posted this screenshot on Reddit and writes: “Dortmund, City Center. No reason to visit the park where the game doesn’t work.” As you can see, Corasonn can also be found more frequently in the city. Niantic increased the spawns of the rare Pokémon outside the Safari Zone.
YouTuber Reversal shows a screenshot and explains that the game works perfectly outside the Safari Zone.
Possible cause found: For some trainers, the Pokémon GO app crashes. The game crashes. The reason for this may be the use of the item “Smoke”. This is not yet completely clarified and is only a suspicion.
At least many trainers report these crashes, who previously used smoke.
The OpenAI bots are considered a significant step for artificial intelligence even by Bill Gates. They managed to defeat DOTA 2 players in a team.
A few days ago, we reported that a team consisting of artificial intelligences had managed to outsmart players of DOTA 2. Now Bill Gates has also spoken out. He views this achievement of AI as “a major milestone in the development of artificial intelligences”.
What did Bill Gates say? According to Gates, the success of the bots in Dota 2 is “a big deal, because their victory required teamwork and collaboration – a major milestone in efforts to advance artificial intelligences.” Most AIs so far operate alone and do not rely on other “partners” – integrating this is a big step.
Later, Gates added that “this is just one of many fascinating projects he has seen from OpenAI. They are working to ensure that as many people as possible can benefit from artificial intelligence.”

In the eyes of many players, the bots for Dota 2 were not a special spectacle. Although they successfully stood up against their opponents in some rounds, those were amateurs. Additionally, the played matches were subject to numerous restrictions. For example, the heroes to be played were strictly specified (they had to be mirror matches) and certain items, such as wards, were not allowed to be used. For some players, that was “no longer DOTA 2”.
How do you see the development of AIs that learn independently, communicate with each other, and coordinate? A fascinating development that will benefit us all? Or just the first step into a dark future we know from sci-fi movies?

Does a The Elder Scrolls game fit in your pocket? With TES: Blades, Bethesda aims to prove this. The role-playing game is supposed to have as much depth as a regular RPG in the series – even with multiplayer elements but without overshadowing the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online.
The Elder Scrolls on the go
Tamriel in your pocket. With The Elder Scrolls Blades, the developer studio Bethesda pursues a grand goal: the developers want to create a deep role-playing experience that is worthy of a “regular” TES installment. They want to present this to players as a mobile game.
However, many think of mobile games as simplified gaming experiences or small games for quick play. Even Fallout Shelter from Bethesda is more of a small, nice game for breaks, but could never compare to a “real” entry in the Fallout series. However, what Bethesda showed about TES: Blades at E3 goes far beyond what is generally understood as a mobile game.
A real RPG: TES: Blades is a role-playing game that offers elements typical for the series:
Epic Story – In The Elder Scrolls: Blades, you take on the role of a “Blade,” one of the top agents of the Empire. You return home from exile only to discover that your hometown has been destroyed. Throughout the story, in which you aim to restore your reputation, you will travel through many dungeons and fight cruel enemies. Additionally, it is your task to rebuild your city.
Character Development – You develop your hero based on skills, similar to how it’s done in the main series. You will acquire increasingly powerful equipment throughout your adventures. This makes you stronger.
Exploration – Throughout the adventures, you explore many mystical places, including mysterious and dark dungeons, as well as enchanted forests, ruins, and more. There, you will find treasures like gold that you can use to purchase new equipment.
Quests – You will receive new quests regularly in your city that will lead you to dangerous places. As you explore these, you will find sinister creatures to fight against. Quests advance the game’s story.
Combat and City Building
Combat without movement. The combat will feel a bit unusual and will likely require some adjustment. While you freely explore the environments, that freedom of movement ceases during battles. In confrontations, you will be more focused on surviving and winning.
While your hero remains rooted during a fight, you touch the touchscreen to charge your attack. A circle fills up, and once it is “full,” you release it, and the attack is executed automatically. You can decide where to hit your opponent. Additionally, power attacks and combos can be executed.
During battles, you will also use powerful skills and even cast spells. It is essential to keep an eye on the health, stamina, and magic status bars.
Build your city. It is not only your task to explore dungeons and dark forests, as well as to fight monsters. You will also receive the responsibility and control over a city that you will need to develop over time. It is even possible to invite other players to your city or visit your friends’ cities.
You determine how your city will look and which buildings you will upgrade. This way, you will gradually unlock new NPCs, who will then have additional quests for you.
Story, Endless Play, PvP
Multiple game modes. TES: Blades offers you the opportunity to play in several modes:
Arena – In the arena, you challenge other players to 1v1 PvP duels.
Town – The main game. Your task is to build and develop a city while exploring dungeons and other areas. You will fight against monsters and proceed with the story.
Abyss – This is an endless dungeon with procedurally generated levels, where you fight against waves of enemies and must survive as long as possible.
Impressive visuals. What was shown of TES: Blades at E3 is quite astonishing for a mobile game. The 3D graphics do not appear significantly worse than those of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
In the dungeons, atmospheric lighting effects create a spooky atmosphere. The enemies are depicted in detail, just like the showcased outdoor area with beautiful landscapes. Graphically, players can expect an extraordinary experience.
Portrait or landscape mode. One of the cool features of TES: Blades is the option to play not only in a widescreen format when you hold your phone horizontally. You can also play in portrait mode. The view, UI, and all elements will adjust accordingly. This way, Blades should be playable with one hand, convenient if you want to eat something or need your hand for other things.
When is the release and how much does the game cost?
Release not only for smartphones. Bethesda plans to release TES: Blades not only for smartphones but also for PC and “as many other platforms as possible“. The game is even planned for VR systems. However, it will initially launch on mobile. Adapting controls and the UI will likely be necessary for other platforms.
Especially interesting: Bethesda wants to make crossplay possible. So if you are playing on your phone on the bus and challenge another player in the arena, it could be that they are playing on a PC or with a VR headset.
When does it come out and how much does it cost? The Elder Scrolls: Blades will be released this fall as a free-to-play game for Android and iOS devices. Bethesda will announce a specific date later. The other versions for PC, console, and VR are expected to follow at a later date.
In-game shop and premium currency? Bethesda has not yet discussed monetization. However, it is expected that TES: Blades will have some kind of in-game shop with premium currency.

The time to say goodbye has come. We tell you which content in World of Warcraft will disappear – as Battle for Azeroth is just around the corner.
The next expansion for World of Warcraft is not far away. Meanwhile, the download of Patch 8.0 has already been initiated, marking the start of Battle for Azeroth. But that also means we have to say goodbye to a lot of content. Certain achievements and mounts will no longer be available. Entire professions are being removed, and artifact weapons are also on the chopping block.
What disappears with the WoW Pre-Patch 8.0.1
Release date: (expected) July 18, 2018
PvP Servers
PvP servers in World of Warcraft have become obsolete. Once the patch is active, there will only be “Normal” and “Roleplay” servers in the future. However, this does not mean that there is no longer any PvP in the open world. Instead, all players on all servers will have the option to opt into the “War Mode” in their capital city. They will then be shifted into a phase where only other players interested in PvP are present. Players can toggle the War Mode on and off at their discretion, but this can only be done in a capital city.
The abilities of the artifact weapon
With Patch 8.0, the instability of your artifact weapon is too strong and it loses its powers. From then on, it will no longer be possible to use your special artifact ability (such as the phoenix for fire mages or the void siphon for shadow priests). At the same time, all passive bonuses, i.e., the traits, will also be completely disabled. However, your artifact weapon will continue to benefit from equipped relics that increase the pure item level. Therefore, the weapon will still be the best option during the transition period.
Antorus Achievements for Argus
Once the pre-patch is deployed, two achievements will be lost forever, related to defeating Argus, the Unmaker in Antorus, the Burning Throne.
Ahead of its Time: Argus, the Unmaker (heroic)
Top Performer: Argus, the Unmaker (mythic)
Both achievements will no longer be available once the pre-patch goes live. So if you want as many achievements as possible, you should give your guild a nudge to go all out in the final weeks!
First Aid and the “Field Medic” Title
As the profession “First Aid” is being removed, all achievements related to it will no longer be available in the game. This also means that the title “Field Medic”, which was introduced with Legion, can no longer be obtained! If you want to snag this, you’ll need to work hard. The requirements and how to approach it effectively are covered in detail in this guide:
If you have accumulated many pet charms over the expansion, you should use them quickly to exchange for level-up stones. Because with the pre-patch, there will be a new pet currency that will be used for all “permanently meaningful items” – that is, all pet rewards that provide level-ups or improve the quality of a pet. However, you can still use the old charms to purchase toy rewards from Legion, such as the illusion mirror, which transforms the user into their pet.
What disappears with the release of WoW: Battle for Azeroth
Release date: August 14, 2018
Purple Spellwing
If you want to have the particularly cool mount “Purple Spellwing”, you will also have to put in some effort. With the release of Battle for Azeroth, it will no longer be possible to obtain this mount. You get the quest and thus the mount guaranteed after defeating Argus, the Unmaker on Heroic or Mythic. Many guilds “sell” this achievement these days. So if you have the necessary gold, you can buy into an appropriate group.
Even though many things will disappear permanently, there is still time to get some of the rewards. What they are and how to go about it, we have addressed in this article:
The developers of Revelation Online are working on a new improved version of the city of Sulan. In a Q&A, the producer of the Chinese MMORPG spoke about the updates coming in the near future.
In addition to the purely graphic upgrades, Sulan, one of the three major cities in Revelation, will also receive new systems and features.
You can watch a trailer for this here:

First, the basics: The update for New Sulan will, however, not be at the same level as the more advanced Chinese version of Revelation Online. Currently, the development team is aiming to implement the “base version” of the new city.
This version will have new features and systems, but for example, the 5V5 PvP MOBA mode will not be included at the release.
New Sulan is expected to go online before the end of summer and will run stably for some time before additional features are gradually introduced.
Information about which features will be available with the first update of the city will come in the near future.
Capcom announced the Grand Summer Twilight Festival in Monster Hunter World. The event will likely run similarly to the Spring Blossom Festival.
When is the Summer Twilight Festival? From July 13, 2018, to July 26, 2018. The event will last about two weeks.
During the event, almost all previously released event quests will be available: Just like during the Spring Blossom Festival, you will be able to play almost all event quests. This means you have two weeks to farm the special rewards from the quests. This ranges from gold crowns to special armor like Aloy and hero and warrior streamstones, which you need for augmenting.
There was a similar event in Monster Hunter World during spring. The gathering place was covered in a sea of flowers, and there were corresponding outfits for Palico, hunters, and Poogie.
New quests and outfits during the Summer Twilight Festival
New events and special outfits: New events await you that were specifically designed for the Summer Twilight Festival. So you can expect that there will again be a new event armor to acquire. The Skystrider will be beautifully adorned, and there are new outfits for Poogie and the wild expert.
There are supposed to be special surprises: Capcom also pointed out that the daily login bonus, the limited-time bounties, and other aspects in the game will hold special surprises. During the Spring Blossom Festival, there were daily bounties instead of weekly ones. Whether this will also be the case for the Summer Festival remains to be seen.
Summer Twilight Festival is perfect for newcomers
Not been in Monster Hunter World for long? If you are new to the game, the Summer Twilight Festival is the perfect opportunity for you. Because you have the chance to catch up on almost all previously missed content.
The Behemoth
Behemoth for the summer festival? The Behemoth will be the next DLC monster coming to Monster Hunter World. The monster comes from the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. Capcom announced that they would demonstrate gameplay of the Behemoth for the first time in a livestream on July 15. That is two days after the start of the Summer Festival.
It is quite possible that the creature will come into the game at that time. However, this is speculative.
A good soundtrack greatly contributes to the atmosphere of an MMORPG. Some songs stand out and tell their own story. We present some of these to you.
World of Warcraft and the Final Fantasy series are known for their excellent musical accompaniment. However, there are more games with special songs that we want to introduce you to. One soundtrack per game applies.
Guild Wars 2 – Fear Not This Night

This is about: Fear Not This Night is a song of hope. It is sung by the Pale Tree, the mother of all Sylvari. Fear Not This Night is about the desire to defeat the Elder Dragons, whose mere existence poses a threat to the world.
Zhaitan, the main antagonist in the personal story, caused the Pale Tree to be attacked. Thanks to the heroic intervention of the player, the death of the Mother Tree was prevented. Shortly thereafter, a second Elder Dragon, Mordremoth, attempted to control the Sylvari.
This is where it plays: During the campaign, the song plays multiple times in its instrumental version. The full version can be experienced in the final mission “Triumph or Death”.
Who composed it? Jeremy Soule is responsible for the music in Guild Wars and also for the soundtrack of The Elder Scrolls series. The singer is Asja Kadric.

This is about: Lothlórien is located at the edge of the dark mines of Moria. The Elven forest radiates bright and luminous. Thanks to Galadriel’s ring, Lothlórien remained protected. The surrounding forests were not so lucky, suffering significant damage.
This is where it plays: After the player has traversed the dangerous areas of Moria, they find themselves in the Golden Wood. Here, the soundtrack also awaits them.
Who composed it? Chance Thomas is the composer behind Lord of the Rings Online. For the 1998 release Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire, he created one of the first live orchestral scores for a video game.
Final Fantasy XIV – Dragonsong

This is about: Dragonsong revolves around the relationship of two characters. It is disputed within the community exactly who they are. One theory suggests the Elezen Shiva from Ishgard and the dragon Hraesvalgr, who fell in love with each other.
To be eternally connected, Shiva asked the dragon to be consumed by him. In doing so, their souls would be forever together. For this reason, Hraesvalgr did not participate in the later Dragon Wars against Ishgard.
This is where it plays: Throughout the campaign, the player convinces the dragon to help Ishgard. Hraesvalgr then turns against his brother Nidhogg, the driving force behind the Dragon Wars. After Nidhogg defeats Hraesvalgr in “Eye to Eye with Nidhogg”, the song plays.
Who composed it? Nobuo Uematsu is responsible for the Final Fantasy series, who has also performed in Germany with his own band. He personally requested Susan Calloway as the singer for Dragonsong.
World of Warcraft – Nightsong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G6FfKXvZX8
This is about: Nightsong is sung in Darnassian, the mother tongue of the night elves. This makes the translation and understanding of the song more difficult and speculative. Nightsong seems to honor the glory of Azshara and that Elune is always with them.
Queen Azshara ruled over the elves thousands of years ago, until she was corrupted and became the queen of the Naga. Elune is the goddess of the moon, from the perspective of the night elves, she protects all living beings and uses her calming influence to avoid conflicts between them.
This is where it plays: Nightsong plays at various locations, particularly in places affecting the night elves, such as the Ashenvale. The song is already several years old, but also appears in World of Warcraft: Legion. In Val’sharah, it plays during a later encounter at the Temple of Elune.
Who composed it? Responsible is Neal Acree, who has composed soundtracks for all Blizzard games. The same goes for the singer Laurie Ann Haus, who sang not only for World of Warcraft but also for Starcraft 2.
