The Hearthstone community is angry after a nerf to the card Tess Greymane. They believe they deserve a refund.
A small patch for Hearthstone has brought some changes that have angered players. Officially, these changes are not considered a nerf, but merely bug fixes and adjustments to the mechanics. However, especially the card Tess Greymane of the Rogue class is now significantly weaker. Players are demanding a refund of the full value in Arcane Dust.
Tess has been weakened: The Rogue card Tess Greymane has a Battlecry that replays all card effects from other class cards. The update has now changed this mechanic. The maximum number of cards played is now 30. However, a much more serious issue is that the Battlecry ends immediately if Tess dies, is silenced, or is transformed during the Battlecry. For players, this is clearly a nerf, and they demand that Tess can be disenchanted for the full Arcane Dust cost.
The Yogg-Saron nerf was identical: The main argument from players is that the nerf to the card Yogg-Saron two years ago was identical. After an adjustment, the Battlecry also ended if Yogg-Saron was affected in any way (silenced, transformed, died). However, the full dust cost of 1600 was refunded at that time.
Tess was intentionally different: In this case, Blizzard cannot claim that Tess Greymane was faulty and they simply forgot to adjust her like Yogg-Saron. Because just two months ago, shortly before the release, Mike Donais from Blizzard confirmed that Tess would function like the “pre-nerf Yogg.” This was obviously intended.
Developers discuss the change: Blizzard has now responded to the fans’ criticism and at least announced on Twitter that they are discussing the changes to Tess Greymane internally. There may indeed be compensation – we will keep you updated.

Sony has released a teaser trailer prior to the E3 2018 event. The video showcases several games that fans can look forward to during Sony’s press conference at this year’s gaming fair.
Countdown to E3: Just before E3 2018 opens its doors on June 12, Sony has quickly released a short teaser trailer to excite the eager fans about the upcoming presentation. It features highly anticipated titles such as The Last of Us 2, Spider-Man, and Death Stranding.
Sony won’t wait: Just a few days ago, Sony announced that they will serve fans some teasers before the event kicks off. They have launched their own E3 countdown. Starting June 6, there will be exciting news and updates about a game that will be present at E3 2018 every day.
Heated discussions: There are also supposed leaks from unofficial sources surfacing. A large alleged E3 leak shows the potential program for Sony’s appearance at the fair. The possible content has been hotly debated for days. Fans won’t have to wait long, as the official start of this year’s E3 fair is just around the corner.
Bethesda has announced a new Fallout title with Fallout 76 and the Internet is buzzing. An error from an online retailer has revealed the supposed release date. Is Fallout 76 really coming out this soon?
British Amazon site leaks release date of Fallout 76: Fallout 76 is available on the British branch of Amazon. For a short time, the release date of July 31, 2018, was listed. This error has since been corrected and no date can now be found.
This supposed release date of Fallout 76 has been removed.
A blurry photo offers more reason for speculation: Shortly after the leak, a photo surfaced on Reddit confirming July 31, 2018, as the release date once again. Not much can be discerned from the blurry image, but the numbers 07, 31 and 18 are still legible.
The recording is said to originate from material delivered for marketing purposes to a store, which then found its way to Reddit. The image seems to confirm that the date is correct and that it is indeed a leak, not a mistake. It is striking that two closely spaced leaks reveal the same date.
Bethesda is already doing some serious advertising: July 31 sounds quite soon considering the short time since the announcement of Fallout 76. However, Bethesda has already taken care of a lot of advertising.
More precise information will be available at the press conference at E3: Whether the date will be confirmed or if it is just a mistake will likely be revealed at E3. Bethesda will hold a press conference on June 11 at 3:30 AM, where Fallout 76 will also be discussed.
What do you think? Do you consider July 31 realistic and appropriate? Have you waited long enough, or would you prefer to wait a little longer for a finished game? Leave us a comment!

However, the reactions from the Japanese community were just as negative as those from the West. It is therefore hard to say who the target audience for this new regulation could have been.
More information about Patch 4.3 can be found here:
With Content Patch 4.3, the developers of Final Fantasy XIV decided to conduct a loot experiment that went massively wrong. Now, director and producer Naoki Yoshida has announced in a forum post that the new loot rule will be reverted.
The 24-player raids in Final Fantasy XIV usually have a “catch-up feature”: They allow players to push the item level of their gear a bit higher without having to actively hardcore raid.
With Patch 4.3, the loot rules for these large raids were exclusively changed to “Greed”, regardless of which job the players entered with. The FFXIV players were not pleased with this.
Next hotfix brings back “Need”
Why could players only roll on “Greed”? It was one of those typical changes that fall under the category of “well-intentioned”. According to producer Yoshida, he actually wanted to make it easier for players to upgrade their second and third jobs.
Accordingly, in Content Patch 4.3, the option to roll “Need” with their main job was removed, and only “Greed” was left to make loot chances equal for everyone. This happened in all 24-player raids.
Now, however, this change is expected to be reverted. In a post in the official FFXIV forums, Yoshida informed the players that the next hotfix will bring back the old loot rules.
Players will again be able to roll “Need” on the gear that corresponds to their current job in the raid.
The date of the hotfix has not yet been set. However, it can be assumed that it will happen before next week’s weekly reset on Tuesday.
The community’s reaction was drastic
It is not surprising that the development team decided to remove the “Greed” rule again. Practically from day one, Reddit and the official forums were flooded with threads containing negative feedback about the new loot rule.
One of the main complaints was that the “Greed” rule made it much harder for new players to raise their jobs to a higher item level. But even people who only had one or two jobs at level 70 found this regulation terrible.
But who was the “Greed” rule even introduced for? The first impression among Western players was that the development team was mainly focused on the Japanese community at this point.
Japanese players are known for always trying to bring all jobs to max level. With the new rule, it would be easier for them to upgrade their off-jobs without having to actively play them in the raid.
However, the reactions from the Japanese community were just as negative as those from the West. It is therefore hard to say who the target audience for this new regulation could have been.

You can now awaken the new class Lahn in Black Desert and unlock a new weapon and new skills. In addition, Kakao Games is granting all players additional experience points.
The crescent polearm-wielding class Lahn has been playable in Europe for 2 weeks, and many players have been enjoying her in Black Desert. With the new update, Lahn can switch to her powerful Awakening form.
Awakening refers to a process in Black Desert where each class accesses the true power that lies within them. This gives them new weapons and skills, changing their gameplay.
She slaughters her enemies with two polearms
When can I awaken Lahn? At level 56, players receive the “Awakening” quest line, which rewards them with a new weapon and new skills at the end.
Will I lose my old skills? No, players can switch between the old and new skills at will.
What can the awakened Lahn do? When your Lahn awakens, she not only becomes stronger but also receives a set of new skills. For example, you can protect yourself with the chains stretched between the polearms or throw the polearms at an enemy.
But how does Lahn gain her new powers? A tragic story lies behind it.
Lahn started as a small shrine guardian
A shrine guardian becomes a fighter. Before Lahn roamed the playable world of Black Desert, she was a simple shrine guardian who one day met Yeung Reung-Hyang. This man taught her how to fight, and over the course of their training together, she developed feelings for him.
As a shrine guardian, she enjoyed great popularity among the people. And the king of the land felt threatened by the great influence Lahn had. He devised a plan to get rid of her and her friend Yeung.
The king ordered them to set out against a hostile ruler. Halfway to their destination, they were attacked by the king’s soldiers, and Yeung was killed.
After burying her good friend, Lahn fled the land, vowing to return one day and seek justice.
“Blood avenges only with blood”
Lahn awakens her dark side: Some time passed, but Lahn could not shake off the horrific memories that haunted her. Every day she trained in hopes of forgetting.
Sunken in the mud, she suddenly saw her old friend Yeung Reung-Hyang. Had he risen from the dead? She had buried him with her own hands.
Her memories returned, and her old friend spoke of the ancient weapon he had found while searching for her. Together they decided to go for the polearms and then seek justice together.
The polearms promise her power: For several days, they marched together through the land until they stumbled upon the two polearms that were half-buried in the ground. She reached for the polearms, hoping to bring justice. But her old friend Yeung was not who he appeared to be. It was a dark figure that had only taken on Yeung’s form.
“Soon the dark power of the polearms will possess your mind,” said the figure. But she resisted against it and subdued the spirit. “From now on, your soul and ideals are corrupted. You will become a being of bloodlust and chaos.”
From then on, she roams the lands, seeking justice. Always moving from one target to the next.
But even for players who do not want to delve too deeply into Lahn’s background story, Kakao Games has something in store. To celebrate the arrival of the new form, Kakao Games is holding an event where you can reap great rewards.
There are rewards
What can you get? As is common in Black Desert, there is an event to celebrate the awakening of Lahn. From June 6 to June 27, you will receive Lahn seals for fishing, gathering, and defeating monsters.
Additionally, you will be rewarded when your Lahn reaches levels 56 to 58. So it’s worth trying out Lahn’s awakening over the next few weeks.
Additionally, since June 6, the “Hot Days” event has been active, where you receive bonuses on experience points and gathering. The event has no end date yet.
In the embedded video, you can see Lahn in action.

Bungie wants to make Destiny 2 a hobby. Our author Schuhmann believes it already is. An important part of the hobby: Getting frustrated about Destiny 2.
Bungie has been trying to make Destiny a hobby for 3 years: Bungie didn’t know for a long time where they wanted to go with Destiny. At the end of 2015, around December, they suddenly had a breakthrough: Destiny should become a hobby. They called it a Life-Style-Game at Bungie. They introduced Sparrow Racing and announced glorious times ahead. In a video documentary, they repeatedly stated: Living world, live game, hobby.

What does Bungie mean by that? “Hobby” is a code for “people spend a lot of time in the game” at Bungie. The idea behind it is roughly this – players should:
Engage in side activities – like Sparrow Racing, perhaps later housing or space racing
People should spend a lot of time in the game working on their gear and fine-tuning their Guardians (T12)
Players should spend time on “fashion”, think about how everything looks, perhaps shop in the cash shop and definitely not run around looking foolish with a Prince Valiant hairstyle
Guardians should hunt for Triumphs, special achievements, try every aspect of the game
They want to experience and enjoy all the weekly and monthly events and rituals: Xur, milestones, raid lockouts, and the Trials
And players should also engage intensively with the game even when they are not logged in – discussing in forums, playing with the app, watching videos on YouTube or Twitch streams
But somehow not: The good intention lasted a maximum of 6 weeks. Then Bungie looked around and realized: “Our reserves are empty. We have no content prepared for 2016 and Destiny 2 is supposed to come out in 9 months!” Soon after the announcement “We are making Destiny a hobby”, they pushed the idea of the “hobby” aside and just tried to get by. Destiny 2 was supposed to fix it.
Destiny 1 was still a hobby: Even though they barely developed the idea further, Destiny 1 functioned well as a hobby during the “dull” years. Even though almost nothing happened in 2016, Destiny sold a lot of “Silver”, the in-game cash shop currency. Thus, in terms of digital revenue, Destiny finished just behind the new game, The Division, in 2016. And they had their launch year that year.
Destiny 2 – The Anti-Hobby
Destiny 2 is not a hobby: However, Bungie developed a Destiny 2 that was aimed at casual players and wanted to be as accessible as possible for everyone. There were no more “hobby” elements recognizable at all. Almost everything that previously fell under “hobby”, which they had been dedicated to 2 years earlier, was gone in Destiny 2.
Destiny 2 needs to become a hobby again: When fans reacted with angry protests, Bungie realized in November 2017: Destiny 2 needs to become much more of a hobby. All the changes and the seemingly 24 new roadmaps since then say: “We will become a hobby again.”
Destiny 2 – One hobby has remained: Currently, all “hobby” elements in Destiny 2 look quite bleak. But one thing still holds true. Even though sites like “Planet Destiny” are dead and many YouTubers have withdrawn from the game, the Destiny player community remains active. Yes, it even seems to be more active than ever before. For it has long become part of the hobby to get extremely frustrated with Bungie and their ideas.
A relationship like with your football club: Our author Robert A. (name unchanged by the editorial team) has developed a love-hate relationship with Destiny like a traumatized HSV fan with their club:
He repeatedly emphasizes that he actually doesn’t care about it all and is deeply sad about Destiny
At the same time, he follows every announcement, comments on them extensively, and is fully involved in the topic
He passionately discusses, has an opinion on everything, and a clear idea of how it should all be much better
Even though he has completely and forever finished with Destiny 2 and will never give them another cent
And he is not the only one: Even people in our editorial team, who have nothing formal to do with Destiny, complain that “Destiny 2 no longer has a single nice Hunter Cloak and therefore is absolutely unplayable.”
Destiny 2 – Is this still a hobby or already a support group?
Like a traumatized football fan: Just as a fan loves their club but can get terribly upset about every player mistake, every wrong personnel decision, and every substitution made by the coach in everyday life, many Destiny fans feel the same way. Hundreds of comments on Mein MMO for every article about Destiny show this. The gravitational pull of Destiny is still strong. The bond between players and the game cannot be easily severed, even if many keep insisting otherwise.
Destiny 2 and the hobby: So, Destiny 2 is still a hobby for many, but not the hobby Bungie envisioned. However, maybe that will change. Have you heard? “Forsaken” is supposed to introduce many new hobby elements again. Because Destiny 2 must become a hobby again, says Bungie.
In Bless Online, you can use various emotes with your character, such as laughing or dancing. We show which gestures are available and explain how to use them.
Emote Commands: Type these commands in the chat
The following emotes have been tested by me in the game and work without a doubt:
Love: /love
Sadness: /sad
Laughter: /laugh
Waving: /wave
Dancing: /dance
Teasing: /tease
Sleeping: /sleep
No: /no
Yes: /agree
Taunting: /taunt
Anger: /rage
Saluting: /salute
Showing off: /show off
Shy: /shy
Confessing: /confess
Strength: /strength
Show your friends a heart with the love emote (/love). It also works with big wolf paws!
More useful commands:
Make your mount roar: Space bar – You don’t need to open the chat for this.
Hide HUD: F11 – This hides the interface and allows you to take nicer screenshots of your gestures!
If you use the space bar, your mount will let out a howl, roar, or neigh, depending on the animal you are currently riding.
How to use an emote?
In the bottom left of the image, you will find the chat. Here, you simply need to enter the command of the emote you wish to use. Just type slash followed by the corresponding command.
Want to apply an emote to another person? In this case, you just need to click on the character of the other player. Now a bar will appear above your head with the name of the player.
If you then execute the command of a gesture in the chat, the emote will go directly to that person. Otherwise, nothing changes.
When you apply an emote to another person, it will also be displayed like this in the chat. In this case, it says “Leya is dancing joyfully with BeBoom.”
Now you can give your characters more expression and communicate with your teammates through gestures.
If you know more emote commands that are not mentioned in this list, let us know in the comments. Then we can add them.
The categories for defensive and offensive heroes in Overwatch are outdated. In the future, the characters will be bundled together.
In Overwatch, heroes are classified into four distinct categories: Support, Tank, Defensive, and Offensive. This is now coming to an end, as the current PTR is abolishing the categories “Defensive” and “Offensive.” All heroes in these categories will be consolidated into the new category “Damage.”
The definition was already vague. Blizzard justifies this move by stating that the division into “Offensive” and “Defensive” has always been difficult and has become increasingly vague over the years. Within the community, most players have agreed on the term “Damage.” Thus, Blizzard is essentially just changing the categories to a designation that players have already been using for quite some time.
The new definition fits the group search: With the transition comes the group search feature. Here, group leaders can push players into fixed roles (which they commit to themselves). A “Damage” category makes much more sense and fits better into the overall picture of a complete group. Normally, a group needs a certain number of “damage heroes” rather than a number of X defensive heroes and Y offensive heroes.
Symmetra is no longer a support. Along with this change, Symmetra will also be shifted in her role. The reason for this is her extensive rework, which is currently being tested on the PTR. She will no longer be counted as a supporter and will be placed with the other heroes in the damage category. Thus, Symmetra’s days as a misunderstood supporter may finally be numbered.

The Crew 2 will be released on June 29 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. During the E3 2018, we expect more information, perhaps even about the open beta of The Crew 2.
In a few days we will know what kind of game Fallout 76 is. However, the title and the teaser trailer already give us some information about the lore and the scenario.
What we know about Fallout 76
A prequel? The teaser trailer for Fallout 76 gives us a hint that the new story apparently begins on October 27, 2102. At least, this date is visible on the Pip Boy that the Vault dweller wears in the trailer. This would mean that Fallout 76 even takes place before Fallout 1, which is set in the year 2161.
Vault 76 as a location or starting point. The Vault dweller in the trailer wears a suit with the number 76 on the back. This number indicates in the series games which bunker the person lives in. So, it is Vault 76. This bunker has been mentioned in previous games and has a special significance in the story:
Vault 76 was built between the years 2065 and 2069 under the supervision of Vault-Tec manager Giles Wolstencroft
The bunker became operational in 2076, on the 300th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence
Vault 76 was supposed to reopen in 2097, about 20 years after the inhabitants were sealed inside
The bunker was designed as a control bunker, to be a baseline for comparison with other experimental vaults
A total of 500 people lived in the bunker
During the construction of Vault 76, workers were abducted by aliens, as learned in the Fallout 3 add-on “Mothership Zeta”
The inhabitants of the bunker were tasked with rebuilding the world after the nuclear war
In the Citadel computer from Fallout 3, you can find further clues, such as that Vault 76 is located in the area around Washington D.C.
The teaser trailer plays John Denver’s song Country Roads, which mentions West Virginia, fitting with the area
Fallout 76 could therefore take place in Virginia with Washington D.C. as a larger city. Vault 76 would then be located somewhere there
2097 or 2102? Vault 76 was supposed to open in 2097, but in the teaser we see the year 2102. It also seems that the vault in the trailer is abandoned. What could this mean for the story?
The Vault opened as planned in 2097 and we ourselves enter five years later, as the inhabitants have already begun to rebuild the world
The Vault was opened as planned but then raided. Perhaps we play as someone who was awakened from cryostasis later and has to continue the work of others
We are not playing a Vault dweller at all but a looter who finds the opened and already looted vault and may be persuaded to start rebuilding
Officially, we only know so far that Fallout 76 is coming and that it has something to do with Vault 76. Rumors suggest an online survival game focused on base building, which would align with the task of the Vault 76 inhabitants to rebuild the world after the nuclear war. But this has not been officially confirmed yet. At E3, Bethesda will present Fallout 76 in detail.
The somewhat troubled developer “Gearbox” will indeed show a new multiplayer shooter at E3 2018, Project 1v1. There will probably be no trace of Borderlands 3. The game is highly anticipated.
Gearbox – the troubled heavyweight at E3 2018: The studio Gearbox has not had a lucky hand in recent years. A lot has been invested in the project “Battleborn.” However, it has failed catastrophically. It is considered one of the biggest video game flops of recent years, alongside Evolve.
What is Project 1v1? At the fair E3 2018, Gearbox wants to show a new shooter. It is called “Project 1v1.” This is supposed to be a “multiplayer shooter and card game” hybrid. The game is a competitive first-person shooter that combines fast combat from a first-person perspective with strategic decisions in a collectible card game, it is said.
New game is not under a good star
Sounds familiar: A similarly named project had the Warframe developer Digital Extremes announced, but then abandoned. They simply found no market for their mix of shooter and card game “The Amazing Eternal.” Therefore, Gearbox’s “Project 1v1” is already under strange signs.
Game to be shown behind closed doors: As reported by vg247, the new game from Gearbox is supposed to receive a presentation at E3, but the demonstration will take place behind closed doors. No images are to be released; instead, editors will only describe gameplay impressions. One will probably also learn a name, as “Project 1v1” is only a preliminary working title.
Borderlands 3 searched desperately: Meanwhile, Gearbox is sending mixed signals to fans of Borderlands 3:
They do convey that they are working on the game
However, they have not officially announced it yet
The brutal Battle Royale Fear the Wolves starts in Early Access on Twitch this summer. A gameplay trailer for E3 shows what to expect.
With Fear the Wolves, Vostok Games brings their own first-person shooter featuring a 100-man arena. Fight in squads or alone in the irradiated Chernobyl on a 25 square kilometer map. The principle is clear: whoever survives last and can escape by helicopter wins. You have a choice of more than 20 weapons with numerous upgrades in the game.
Beware of radiation! The radiation spreads dynamically from zone to zone and can only be survived with the right equipment.
PvE plays a big role: Unlike many current battle royale games, Fear the Wolves has PvE elements that complicate your life. Wolves, mutants, and other dangers can spoil your tactics at any time.
Evolve is shutting down. One of the former developers explains what went wrong and uncovers issues.
After just a short lifespan, the 4vs1 monster game Evolve is being discontinued. In a few months, just under two years after the last update, the official servers will close, leaving only limited game modes available.
Designer and story writer Matt Colville spoke up on Twitter as some fans mourned the downfall of Evolve. He shared insider details and explained what went wrong during the development of Evolve.
According to Matt Colville, Evolve should have launched as a Free2Play title from the start to be successful in the long run. The problem was not only the barrier of nearly €60 to enter the game, but another one: players.
Evolve relied too heavily on cooperation and communication. One couldn’t simply “jungle for 20 minutes and occasionally gank someone while doing their own thing.” Evolve required cooperation from the first to the last second of the match. This meant needing friends – three to four other players who would also have to fork out €60. €300 for a game where individuals can only have fun together is a huge hurdle.
Developers were not allowed to patch: Another nail in the coffin was the fact that developers could only release an update approximately every three months. If an exploit was discovered and spread in the game, developers often had a fix ready within hours. However, they could only publish it at the next patch date, which was predetermined. For a competitively run game, this was a disaster. With more and more discovered exploits, the player count dwindled, and many did not even get the saving update.
The 4vs1 game principle failed in reality. The developers knew how the finished game should be played – and that’s how they played it themselves. Colville describes it as a kind of “roleplay” in how they played Evolve. The hunters exploring a planet together while needing to hunt down the beast. This was fun and great. However, this illusion shattered when a team member played to win. Mechanics, balance, and many other little things came to the forefront, and the game never recovered from that.
Bad PR was the last straw. Much negative press and loud opinions in the forums were, according to Colville, the drop that made the bucket overflow. Back then, pre-ordering and paid DLCs were painted in a negative light and were criticized as sharply as loot boxes are today. Colville found much of this criticism unfair and unjustified, but people didn’t care. Once an avalanche starts rolling, it cannot be stopped.
In summary, there are many reasons why Evolve failed. However, the developers seem to have been the least of the problems.
Destiny 2 offers numerous weapons and weapon categories. Guardians have a wide range of killing instruments available to them. However, since the official reveal of the Forsaken expansion, it is clear: finally, a truly new weapon is coming into play – the bow.
Many guardians were quite astonished when they watched the reveal video for Destiny 2: Forsaken. Among the numerous new information and upcoming features of the autumn addon, one prominent detail caught the guardians’ eyes immediately: Destiny 2 will receive a brand new weapon category – the bow. What is currently known about this weapon?
New toy for the guardians – The bow
It’s official – the bow will not only be reserved for the Revenant Hunters with their Super in the future. With the Forsaken expansion, bows will enter Destiny 2 as a new weapon category.
Why a bow? The developers at Bungie have asked themselves this question. Why, for heaven’s sake, should one resort to a bow in a sci-fi game with automatic firearms and energy weapons? The answer was quite simple: because they are absolutely deadly and cool.
The moving images tell a clear story. Although no concrete details have been revealed yet, it can be seen in the reveal video how a player takes out another guardian with just one arrow (body shot). A Fallen is also eliminated with just one shot into the virtual afterlife.
Three different types: As the developers explained in the ViDocs, there will be three different types of bows in the future. The categories will be defined by the range of the respective bows. There will be versions for long, medium, and short ranges.
It is not yet known if the bows can be carried in all three weapon slots. However, based on the visuals, it seems that there will be elemental arrows (an arrow with Arc glimmer is visible) as well as kinetic arrows (without glimmer). For a brief moment, a legendary bow with Solar damage is also seen. This at least suggests that there will be various slot options for the bows as well.
What can the bows do? The video clearly shows that the bows can kill not only through direct arrow hits. An arrow is fired that strikes next to a Fallen, but kills it with an Arc bolt from the arrow stuck beside it. Whether this is a type of arrow or ammunition, or possibly an (exotic) perk of the bow itself, remains unclear.
Furthermore, there is an image showing the stats of a legendary version of this new weapon. Two of the stats are particularly interesting. The magazine size is stated as 64. So, one will be able to carry quite a bit of ammunition. Additionally, there is the stat Draw Time – the time it takes to draw the bow. Due to this stat, many fans assume that the bow will have a similar “charge time” as fusion rifles – meaning it will not fire immediately upon pressing the trigger.
Stealth play? This is pure speculation, but some guardians are now hoping that the bows will promote stealth gameplay. Numerous fans would be pleased if enemies could be eliminated in a way that nearby opponents are not alerted by the silent kill.
However, from the gameplay shown so far, there are no details that would indicate such a mechanic. Whether it will remain a mere wishful thinking from the fans should hopefully be known by September 4, 2018. Then Destiny 2: Forsaken will be released.
What do you think? Are you excited about this new weapon? What do you think of the details known so far? And what wishes do you have for the new weapon category?

Spray various Carbide or Omega posters (7)
Each of these challenges is worth 5 big stars in the Battle Pass.
Here are the hard challenges in Week 6 of Fortnite
These three tasks each grant 10 Battle Pass stars. That’s an instant level up in the Battle Pass!
Search between a playground, a campsite, and a footprint (1)
Eliminate opponents with a submachine gun (3)
Eliminate opponents at Retail Row (3)
What do you get in total? You can earn a total of 5 complete Battle Pass tiers through the challenges. Provided you complete all the challenges.
Don’t forget the Blockbuster Challenge!
Is there more? Additionally, you will receive another cover image from the Blockbuster Challenge. However, you must also have completed all previous challenges. As a reward, you will receive a fun image that shows a major surprise for the story. And it also reveals the location of another Battle Star.
Completing All Challenges from Week 6: Here’s How
To achieve all tasks in Week 6, you should ideally proceed as follows:
Search chests in Loot Lake: This region doesn’t have many chests, so this challenge can take some time. Don’t forget the boxes in the boats and in the cave under the island.
Deal damage to opponents with shotguns: Unfortunately, the recent shotgun nerf impedes you a bit if you want to complete this task. Still, it shouldn’t be too difficult to deal 1,000 points of damage with shotguns.
Fortnite Supply Drop – Where is it?
Search supply drops: This challenge is the hardest to achieve in Week 6. Because supply drops typically arrive only in the late game of Fortnite and are hotly contested. Ideally, you use the “Blitz” game mode, as everything goes faster and more supply drops come. You can recognize them because they are delivered in style. In this guide, you will learn how to optimally get supply drops.
Eliminate opponents with a submachine gun: You are to take down three opponents with SMGs. That shouldn’t be too hard.
Eliminate opponents at Retail Row: This area has plenty of weapons lying around and many hiding spots. So, it’s the ideal condition for exciting fights. Ideally, you should go hunting with shotguns and SMGs, so you complete several challenges at once. Both weapons are ideal for the terrain here.
Where is the treasure in week 6 in Fortnite: Battle Royale? The hints: Search between a playground, a campsite, and a footprint. We will safely lead you to the hiding place of the treasure of week 6.
If you want to reach Battle Pass level 100 and unlock the coveted Omega skin, you must also take care of the weekly challenges that let you complete special tasks in Fortnite: Battle Royale.
In addition to the standard challenges, you must also complete special challenges that may not seem solvable at first glance. These special tasks include treasure hunting or searching for objects scattered across the map, such as rubber ducks or posters.
In the current sixth week of Season 4, you should take a close look around – a treasure should be located between a playground, a campsite, and a footprint. Do you already have an idea of where it could be?
The treasure between a playground, a campsite, and a footprint
If not, that’s no problem. You can find the three markers near Greasy Grove.
The exact location is a small patch of dirt directly south of the mountain in the northwest of Greasy Grove. On the map, the location is right here:
Here is where the treasure is located.
From the air, the location looks like this!
Tadaa! You have one level more in the Battle Pass!

The fair E3 2018 is just around the corner. What news can fans of online role-playing games expect? The MMORPG highlights will probably be information about the Xbox One port of Black Desert, two new DLCs for The Elder Scrolls Online, and possibly information about the new MMORPG “New World” .
E3 again this year not a fair for MMORPGs: For the last few years, MMORPG fans had to endure at the E3 fair. While friends of online shooters and action games feasted on the thick Sacher cakes, there was only a crumb left for MMORPG fans from the table of the big players. 2018 will likely be no different. But there will be a little something to feast on in 2018.
The Elder Scrolls Online presents 2 new DLCs
Two smaller DLCs: As Zenimax announced, at E3 2018, they will present two DLCs for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online. Both DLCs are expected to be released in 2018. After players have just started to explore the new chapter “Summerset”, nothing huge should be expected. It is quite likely that one DLC will focus on dungeons and the other will bring a new zone, perhaps also fresh features.
When will it happen? At the Bethesda press conference. On June 11 at 3:30 AM before sunrise. In previous years, it was a short segment where Matt Firor talks about how well everything is going, and then there were trailers.
Black Desert Online – Release date for Xbox One … maybe?
1 year nothing happened: In 2017 at E3 Black Desert announced that it would launch exclusively on Xbox One. But since then, nothing has happened. There is no date for a beta, no launch date, everything is dormant. In March a teaser page went live – but then nothing happened. Xbox players have been waiting for a year for more information and want to finally play the beautiful MMORPG. It is quite possible that plans got mixed up – in hindsight, it was actually nonsense to announce the Xbox port last year when nothing would come.
What about Black Desert for PS4? Black Desert will also come to PS4, but there is still no information about it. It has to run smoothly on Xbox One first.
Black Desert could be released in summer for Xbox One: One can assume that Black Desert will finally get a schedule at E3 and the release date for Xbox One will be announced. It should happen relatively soon. It will probably take place in summer 2018.
When will this happen? If there are updates about Black Desert on Xbox One, which we assume, it will be at the Microsoft press conference. Sunday at 10 PM.
New World – Maybe a new MMORPG from Amazon
The reveal is still missing: New World is a MMORPG from Amazon that has had several leaks, but the big reveal is still missing. It could now happen at E3 with a small fireworks display. New World takes place during the colonization of America by Europeans but with a strong mystery element. We still know little about the game, but we assume it will be an MMORPG that is very “Twitch” oriented. The streaming service Twitch belongs to Amazon, and their engine “Lumberyard” is very Twitch-friendly: Something is going to happen.
What MMORPG announcements and presentations are still pending?
Not very likely: There are a number of MMORPGs that are expected to have an announcement or a major presentation. However, it is very unlikely to see anything on E3 2018. Such announcements are usually seen at smaller game fairs, the PAX.
Crowfall – something should come regarding the release, but the developers are more likely to go to a PAX
Ashes of Creation – they are also more likely to plan for a PAX if they have something big – they can be expected to do something
The new Week 6 of Season 4 brings new challenges in Fortnite: Battle Royale. This time, you have to spray Carbide and Omega posters scattered across the map. We will show you where these posters are located!
Carbide and Omega represent the counterpoints of the story of Fortnite: Battle Royale. At the same time, Omega is also the main reward of the Battle Pass for Season 4. The skin is unlocked at Level 100.
If you want to get Omega, you must complete the weekly challenges, which bring you five levels in the Battle Pass each week – the secret Blockbuster loading screen grants an additional level.
The secret Blockbuster loading screen of Week 5
Every week, Epic also offers increasingly difficult challenges that are not immediately solvable. In the current week, you should commit vandalism on posters that are scattered all over the map.
This is how the challenge works: What many haven’t noticed: The posters have been on the map of Fortnite: Battle Royale for some time now. If you have ignored these in recent weeks, you need to be more attentive now.
If you come across a poster, you simply have to spray it with a spray from your emotes – done. If you do not use sprays, remember to select one in the locker before the game starts. Which spray you use is up to you.
Carbide and Omega Posters – Map with Locations
The posters are scattered all over the map. Specifically, you can find the posters at the following locations:
The individual locations
This poster is by the bridge to Shifty Shafts, follow the road, drop down the hole and follow the metal path.
The poster is at the blue fence outside the burger shop.
Check here in the white wooden house, there is the poster.
In the brick house by the caravan in the west of Pleasant Park, there is a poster.
In the entrance area of the villa in the lake, there is another poster.
The tunnel south of Tomato Town also has a poster.
In the southwest of the loading station behind the arches, there is another poster.
In the superhero villa, you can gain access to the basement. There is a poster.
The area east of Retail Row also has a playground. In the red shed there is a poster.
Go to the southeast of Tilted Towers and down the steel stairs by the truck. There is a poster on the wall down there.
In the basement of the prison, there is also a poster in a cell.
In the ground floor of the white house northeast of Wailing Woods, there is also a poster.
On the mountain, there is a storage place. There is also a poster on the wall there.
In the disco in the old factory, there is now also a poster.
In the middle of Junk Junction, there is a building with another poster.
The building with the vending machine also contains a poster.
The locations in the video
The posters are always on walls, making them easy to spot. If you want to see the exact locations again in the video, you can do so here:

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One) has expanded Update 4.3 once again. It includes nerfs for buildings and the popular loot llamas. They are now much less generously stocked!
What is included in Update 4.3? When Update 4.3 was released on June 5, it only contained the new bounce pads and two heroes for the PvE mode. On Wednesday, a few more features were added. Among them was a huge nerf for shotguns, the temporary end of jetpacks, and a gigantic buff for the previously quite weak traps.
But that’s not all: There are significant adjustments to buildings and the loot llamas.
Llamas are getting slimmer
Loot Llamapiñatas are one of the highlights in the PvE mode, and in Battle Royale, they delight players with their wonderfully silly cardboard creatures. Because whoever finds such a llama in the wild can blow it up and rejoice over gigantic amounts of loot.
Unfortunately, the llamas were simply too good, because Epic has given them a weight loss treatment. They now contain no more than 500 units of each building resource, but only 200! Not even half! Additionally, no explosive ammo comes out of the llamas anymore. This is intended to curb the spam of rockets and grenades in the endgame.
Collapsing Buildings – The building nerf!
Buildings and fortresses dominate especially the late game in Fortnite. Many buildings are difficult to crack. Therefore, the developers adjusted the values a bit and nerfed the buildings overall.
The following adjustments have been made:
If you find building resources in the game world, they contain 33 percent less material, meaning you won’t get large material supplies so quickly
The damage fall-off of rifles, submachine guns, pistols, and light machine guns has been removed! This means that you can shoot at buildings from a distance with no problem!
The previously somewhat neglected minigun has been buffed: It is 10 percent more accurate, its ammo spawns much more often, and it now deals 30 damage instead of 25 per hit specifically against buildings.
C4 bombs now have a larger radius, which has been expanded from 400 to 600
Light ammo now contains 18 shots instead of 12, but you will find 50 percent less explosive ammo
What do these changes mean? All of this means that you can now destroy buildings more with regular ammo or C4 rather than relying on the easily usable rockets and grenades. All these adjustments will certainly change again when Epic has gathered enough data and feedback. So play and test vigorously!
With the upcoming update for the Han Solo season of the online shooter Star Wars Battlefront 2, new elements from the current movie Solo: A Star Wars Story will be introduced.
Have you seen the movie Solo: A Star Wars Story and would you like to control the young Han Solo as a hero in Star Wars Battlefront 2 or fly Lando Calrissian’s Millennium Falcon? Starting June 12th, this will be possible.
Young Heroes, Faster Falcon
Revamp for the heroes. Since Solo: A Star Wars Story is a prequel, our heroes like Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian are also a bit younger. Accordingly, you can play them as new appearances of the heroes:
Han Solo – Corellia Escape (Legendary)
Han Solo – Beckett’s Crew (Legendary)
Lando – Professional “Athlete” (Legendary)
Lando – Raconteur (Legendary)
Chewbacca – Vandor Robbery (Epic)
Battle on Kessel! With the update, the planet Kessel is added as a new map. There will be a fierce battle for the coaxium mine. Several modes will be playable:
Kessel is playable in the new Extraction game mode, just like Jabba’s Palace
Kessel is also playable in the Blast, Heroes vs. Villains, Hero Showdown, and Arcade modes
Make it explode in the new Millennium Falcon. You have Lando Calrissian’s Millennium Falcon available as a new spaceship. It has a different appearance than Han Solo’s version and is faster and more agile, but not as durable.
Additionally, many bug fixes and balancing adjustments will be included in the update, which will be released on June 12th for the online shooter Star Wars Battlefront 2.
